The Last White Rose: A Novel of Elizabeth of York

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.

Alison Weir is a master storyteller! In her latest, The Last White Rose, she explores the life of Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor Queen and mother to the infamous Henry VIII.Her writing is flawless and the pace of the story is even and quick. You get hooked from very early on during Elizabeth's childhood. Her father Edward faces opposition and betrayal from the inside of his court and this turmoil had to have left a lasting mark on the young princess. She navigates through trials and tribulations, as we all must in life, and ended up matriarch to a great family of rulers who has left their mark on England and the world.If you love Historical Fiction, check out this and all of Alison's fiction offerings. I love her non-fiction, also. Her books are never dry or boring and will engage you, as this one did for me, from beginning to end. If you are looking for accuracy and great research, then look no further.

I really got into this book and enjoyed the story but the end was too fast and too short. I wish it had drawn out to include Henry's reaction

I really like this author but I felt this book read more like a non-fiction book than a historical novel

I know this book is fiction but I loved the storyline. I love the lancaster,York, Tudor Era a lot. This book was really hard to put down and I read it within a couple of days. This book has it all love,intrigue, murder,mystery, and mayhem. Would definitely recommend.

This was a wonderful story - so full of interesting historical information and so well-written. I enjoyed it so much, I purchased more books by this author.

Me encanta cómo ella escribe y a la vez aprendo de la historia

Love this authors books.great reading

Boken är skriven ur en ett kvinnligt persektiv vilket jag tycker är ett annat sätt att se historiska fakta på.

The first page was fold and the top and bottom of the back is damaged.

Bought as book club read for march. Love this author and historical novels
