Unabridged Audiobook
As always, Philippa Gregory is the best. This is not my absolute favorite of her books, but it was an excellent read. The narrator is stellar as always.
I enjoy Philippa Gregory's historical novels and this was another good one. She keeps the timeline accurate and weaves interesting characters into the story line. I especially like that her books are written from a woman's perspective.
This book helped me untangle all of the children involved in the cousin's war. You thought it would have been the book about Jacquetta, who had 13 children. Somehow each line of children is clearly delineated here. Enough of that. I thought the title was plural, "Daughters" but I now see it is singular. It would have been ok plural however because it does tell the stories of both Isabel and Anne. It is told from the point of view of Anne, but Isabel's point of view is well-understood. The book leaves you with some historical things to ponder: Was Queen Elizabeth a witch? If nothing else she certainly did heavily influence King Edward; Was Richard deformed? Back to the ladies. I have really enjoyed getting the perspective of all the women of the time: Margaret of Anjou, Margaret Beaufort, Jacquetta, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne and Isabelle Neville. For the rest of this review, see Goodreads.
Excellent! I haven't liked Gregory's more recent books but this was a gripping read and a great story! Very well done.
Best story I've heard so far! The narrator has the amazing ability to suck you into the story. I watched the series The Red Queen and The White Queen and this story ties in greatly.
This is good storytelling and the narration is awesome.
This is a fantastic book, well written and beautiful narration.
