The Red Queen (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

Quotes

• “This interweaving of the personal and the historical in a way that is fluid and entirely believable is, of course, why one reads Gregory in the first place. But the backbone of this book is the manipulation of her central character, the way in which Gregory successfully guides her from hero to antihero, keeping her compelling all along...Delightful escapism.”

  — Times (London)

• “The narrative has both drive and immediacy which, combined with the meticulous research characteristic of all Philippa Gregory’s books, bring the fifteenth century alive…The Red Queen is a vivid and compelling evocation of a turbulent period.”

  — Daily Express (London)

• “This is a vivid recreation of an unsympathetic and ruthless manipulator…[A] compulsive tale of dynastic deviousness.”

  — Marie Claire

• “Nobody does the Tudors better than Gregory, so it should come as no surprise that her latest—the War of the Roses as seen through the eyes of Henry VII’s mother —is confident, colorful, convincing, and full of conflict, betrayal, and political maneuvering.” 

  — Publishers Weekly

• “The Red Queen offers a riveting portrait of a woman who refused to be cast aside.”
