This is the first time reading this authors work, and so happy I did. This monarchy of the white and red roses was easy to understand with the way it was written. Because everyone has to name their children “king & queen” names there is so many repeats. It seems to me that Queen’s were treated as baby maker’s as when they had their babies, they were given to a wet nurse and Nanny and moved to the children’s House. What a tragic situation with the two young prince’s in the tower, who really killed the next in line for the throne? So many books an theories on the subject, one will never know. This author brought me too tears to many times, would recommend to any historical fan.
Loved this book well written and well researched if you enjoy history you will certainly enjoy this book thanks to author
Me encanta cómo ella escribe y a la vez aprendo de la historia
The first page was fold and the top and bottom of the back is damaged.
The Last White Rose is the first book in Alison Weir’s Tudor Rose series. The Tudor Rose series is a companion to Weir’s Six Queens.Elizabeth of York, the eldest child of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, was the sister of the Princes in the Tower, niece of Richard III, wife of Henry VII, mother of Henry VIII, and ancestor of the current British royal family. The Last White Rose covers her life, from her childhood in her father’s court to her death on her 36th birthday.The novel spans over 500 pages, covering the final days of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor reign. At times, it can be challenging to keep track of the characters, as people of that era often sought to gain favor with the royal family by naming their children after its members. The royal family would also name their children after other family members. Alison Weir takes the reader inside Elizabeth’s mind as she transitions from a pampered princess to a declared bastard, and ultimately to Queen Consort. Weir tries to stay close to the facts even though she has her own theories about why things happened. Weir knows her subject well. One of my favorite things is her author notes at the end of each of her fiction books.
