Author Name:
Philippa Gregory, the internationally bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen, continues her tumultuous Cousins War trilogy with the story of Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII.
Margaret appeared as a shadowy and mysterious character in the first book of the series, The White Queen. Now in The Red Queen, we learn how she was able to infiltrate the House of York, undermine the support for Richard III, and ultimately ensure her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphed as King of England.
Like Philippa's previous titles, The Red Queen has been well received. The Telegraph said, “Gregory is very good at describing the bitchiness of the women in this tale of dynastic rivalry”.
