The Lady of the Rivers: A Novel (War of the Roses)
“Wielding magic again in her latest War of the Roses novel … Gregory demonstrates the passion and skill that has made her the queen of English historical fiction.…Gregory portrays spirited women at odds with powerful men, endowing distant historical events with drama, and figures long dead or invented with real-life flaws and grand emotions. She makes history … come alive for readers.” –Publishers Weekly(starred review)“The best writers of historical fiction imbue the past with the rich tapestry of life and depth, and Gregory is surely counted among their number. . . .A worthy addition to this fascinating series, once again distinguished by excellent characterization, thorough research, and a deft touch with the written word.” –Library Journal“The suspenseful pace never flags.” –Kirkus“The ethereal magic threaded throughout the story. . . .contrasts nicely with the power politics.” –Booklist“This rip-roarer possesses the same intimate imaginative texture of Gregory’s classicThe Other Boleyn Girl. . . . It’s about love, power and human weakness.” --USAToday.com“The best yet, a lively tale . . . set amid civil wars in England and France.” –Associated Press
