SPIES, POISON, AND CURSES SURROUND HER… IS THERE ANYONE SHE CAN TRUST?

The Kingmaker's Daughter—Philippa Gregory's first sister story since The Other Boleyn Girl—is the gripping tale of the daughters of the man known as the Kingmaker, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters, Anne and Isabel, as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to be influential players in their own right.

At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister married to the enemy. Anne manages her own escape by marrying Richard, Duke of Gloucester, but her choice will set her on a collision course with the overwhelming power of the royal family.

Ok

Não sei se mudei como leitora mas os livros da Philippa me convenceram muito pouco, os últimos 3 livros (A Rainha Vermelha, a Rainha Virgem e este) foram experiências razoáveis para ruins...
Mas a escrita é boa, bem encaixada e envolvente em alguns pontos... Creio que aqui caberia a famosa fase " O problema não é você, sou eu"
