Book Of The Week 6-5-2013: The Lady of The Rivers by Philippa Gregory


by



This is the third book in Philippa Gregory's series The Cousins War which is about the War of The Roses in 15th Century England.  But actually if one was to read the books in chronological order  The Lady of the Rivers would need to be read before the first two in the series because it is about the life of The White Queen's mother.  The Lady of the Rivers  is another really good novel.  I especially found the way Philippa Gregory presents Kind Henry VI as a catatonic schizophrenic to the reader very well done.   And I enjoyed the parts of the book that explained about herbal use in that particular historical context.  I highly recommend this series to people who enjoy historical novels.  Please click on the title and the authors name above to learn more and enjoy the following videos of the author describing this book.
