Phillipa Gregory has outdone herself with her latest novel, The White Queen.  This is as good as The Other Boleyn Girl.  It is the story of the War of the Roses where Edward, the playboy, falls for the unlikely Elizabeth Woodville.  Elizabeth brings her family to power which makes her extremely unpopular with the other powers at be.  No matter, Elizabeth is quite capable of taking matters into her own hands, if necessary.
