I've read other books in this series, and all out of sequence. I quite enjoyed this one, which tells the story of Elizabeth of Woodville's mother, and the early part of the War of the Roses. It helped me with the background of how the wars began, and humanized the major players of both parties. It is much the same as others in the series, in terms of writing style. I did get rather tired of all the Wheel of Fortune (tarot) references, but Jacquetta and her family, and certainly Margaret of Anjou and Henry, the Royals throughout most of the book, made more trips around that mythical wheel than most can imagine.I enjoyed this novel, and the series, because it's well researched and tells the famous events of a fascinating time in history from the imagined point of view of the women. Histories have been written largely by men, and Gregory tells the perspective and roles of women, and n the process, humanizes the events and the eras.
I have read several Phillippa Gregory novels, and her works about the various women of power in early England are without question where she shines. The White Queen in particular spoke to me, and when I found out she'd written The Lady of the Rivers I was anxious to delve back into the world of Melusina's descendants. This book did not disappoint! A romantic tale with the backdrop of a terrible war, mystery, magic, and ambitious women. I love love love the way this author is so adept at describing the balance a woman must find within herself always, in a world ruled by men. She writes about these women in a way that helps me learn about myself as a woman. Yes, I've read the reviews of people disgusted with Phillippa Gregory's account of events that are,as they say, historically inaccurate, sold as truth disguised in fiction. I say, WHO CARES? These stories are amazing. No one can ever be sure of events that transpired hundreds of years ago. Not even of yesterday, to be sure. I enjoy these tales, they are thought provoking and interesting and they take me to a time when women died for the pleasures we take for granted. Do yourself a favor. Disregard the negativity, jump in head first.
The Cousin's War Series. Even though this is labeled Book #3 I really consider it more like book #1. I've read the series in succession but the way they were written the author does biographical background on each House member after the White Queen was written. For redundancy reasons I've been telling friends to read The Lady of the Rivers, The White Queen, The Red Queen and the White Princess. There was another book in this series but I wasn't interested; I think it would probably be placed either before Lady of the Rivers or just after. No matter how the reader decides in which order to absorb the books, they're all very detailed and in many respects the reader will appreciate the repetition of some of the historical details in each book. It helped me relate to the events and how each House experienced each event. I really enjoy Jacquetta and her family the most.
This is a wonderful work of historical fiction of a woman of historical significance but about whom little has been written, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, who marries John of Lancaster, the Duke of Bedford, who brought her to England. They also brought with them Margaret of Anjou, who would marry King Henry VI. When the Duke died, Jacquetta would make a love match, secretly marrying Richard Woodville, the Duke's squire. Both would weather the storm that followed the disclosure of their marriage and would be loyal supporters of the Lancastrian court. In particular, Jacquetta would become a fast friend to Queen Margaret.This is Jacquetta's story, and what an amazing life she had! She managed to survive those tumultuous times, have many children, enjoy a happy marriage, and live to see the court transfer its power from the House of Lancaster to the House of York. She would also see her daughter, Elizabeth Woodville, widowed with two children, catch the eye of Edward, the newly crowned king of the House of York. The rest is history.The author brings Jacquetta's story to life with vivid imagery. It is so interesting to read, made more so by her place in the annals of history and the author's deft writing style. I could not stop turning the pages. Usually woman of this era end up as mere footnotes in history with marriages, births, and deaths recorded and little else. Now, this little known woman has been resurrected, and what is known has been fleshed out, making for a three dimensional woman who lived life to the fullest at a time of great unrest in England. Jacquetta's life is truly the stuff of legend.Those who enjoy historical fiction should find this book noteworthy. The author has pulled out all the stops with this well-researched, skillfully written characterization of a woman that time had but all forgotten.
Very well researched facts. I have watched the tv serial The White Queen and then The White Princess. Was curious to find out more about their lineage which led me to The Lady of the Rivers, which is the story of the mother of the White Queen. All these people actually existed and are linked to the Tudor Dynasty and hence the The infamous King Henry VIII. If you are interested in English history, you will enjoy this series of books. I did!
This book is another extremely well written work by Philippa Gregory. She is so knowledgeable about this time period, and she does a good job balancing the backstory and history of the Cousins War with the personal story of her main character, Jacquetta. If you love royal historical fiction, you'll love this book! I love the first person perspective, as it makes me feel connected to Jacquetta. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
