Phillipa gregory - what are the White Queen and the Red Queen like?

[Saltire]

MIL, (bless her she does ahve a few good points) has sent them to me, she bought them for me as a treat as I've been feeling so low and upset and depressed and il. However, I'm not a massive fan of Hysterical novels, although I've read the Other Boleyn Girl by the same author and aother one of hers set in Tudor times, but I forget the name.

Are they worth starting or a bit tedious?

I'm so glad someone else has recommended Norah Lofts. She is far superior to P Gregory - historically accrurate plus a very good story teller. Please try her.

Well I'm half way through the White Queen - the king has died!
I knew very little aobut that period in History or about the queen in question.
I can't say I'm carried away with the book, more a case of I'm reading it and contiuing with it as I have nothing else, and it was a gift.
