'Rollicking, page-turning stuff' Metro

‘As with The Other Boleyn Girl, Gregory’s clever blend of fact and fiction is a lot racier than the average historical biography ... her tale of Elizabeth Woodville’s tenacious fight for her family’s position during the Wars of the Roses oozes sex appeal and suspense’ Glamour magazine 8/9
‘Lady Margaret Beaufort – cold, clever, calculating – will stop at nothing to put her son Henry Tudor on the throne. Gregory is very good at describing the bitchiness of the women in this tale of dynastic rivalry’ Telegraph 12/9
'Entrancing' Telegraph 12/9
'an informative and riveting read from start to finish' Edinburgh Evening News (also syndicated in various regional papers)
