![]() ![]() Sadly for me, because I am a Philippa Gregory fan, this book lacked the excitement I expected. Moreover, I understand few historians have researched Jacquetta, so this was an opportunity to create exciting fiction around real historical events. Happily, I don’t know much about this period of history, so I read unencumbered by how much license Gregory might have taken, or not, with historical facts. Through the eyes of Jacquetta of Luxembourg we experience the events leading up to the fall of the Red Rose ( House of Lancaster, Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou)-and the rise of the White Rose ( House of York, Edward IV). ![]() ![]() “The Lady of the Rivers” is Philippa Gregory’s third novel in her “Cousins War” series about the English Wars of the Roses.
