I'm waiting for the series to be over, and to get the full series & save some money. Hey, just think of the gimmick that might be included with the full series! 
And bless your little baby heart for knowing that Phillippa Gregory plays fast and loose with truth! It does make for a good story, but sheesh! It's not like that period of history was boring at all! I'm tempted to read The White Queen, but I think I'll pass. |
The White Queen isn't quite as fanciful as some of her other books...I usually prefer straight biographies and historical NONfiction, but this book was not nearly as irritating as some in regards to what is complete fiction and what has some truth. I think she spent more time embellishing than inventing on that one.
