The Women of the Cousins' War: The Duchess, the Queen and the King's Mother Audiobook

" I very much enjoyed the introduction by the author. I've read or listened to all three of her books in "The Cousins' War" series and liked them. This book was borrowed thru local library and I didn't have time to finish the entire book but I did skim good parts of it and I think it is a good source of material on the women. "

" interesting perspectives on women that we have read about, but did not know that much about! "

" 3.5 Not as much info as I would like about these woman, though Gregory does explain in her introduction that a lot just doesn't exist on woman from that time period as well as others. Unless a woman was involved in something big in her day, like Joan of Arc, there just isn't detailed written records. It is however well written, did like what was there, and the bibliography and introduction is very informative and interesting. "

" Really great introduction about women in history "

" Easy read for a non-fiction. "

" great insight on her writing style. "

" Fabulous book! Never thought I would enjoy Tutor history as much as I do. I cannot wait until her newest book in The Cousins War series comes in the mail this week! "

" Two chapters (well lengthy introduction and one chapter) and nothing new here for me - have yet to read the three novels which I will wgen I get through this. "

" Very interesting read if you like history. This is a non fiction book, based on the research of three professors. "

" Obviously very well researched but, I feel like I already read all of it in The White Queen, The Red Queen and The Lady of the Waters, albeit in a more narrative fashion. "

" 3.25 Stars. I thoroughly enjoyed Jones' part about Margaret Beaufort. I liked Baldwin's section on Elizabeth. She wasn't the conniving upstart I have been reading about lately. As for PG's take on Jacquetta, it was more Melusine and witchcraft oriented than I would have liked it to have been. "

" Interesting read. I was a little bored in some parts (the beginning) but it did pick up :) "

" a really good biographical account of three incredible women of the cousin's war "

" I found this collection of essays an engaging and enjoyable read. The War of the Roses can be a very complex part of English History to follow. I found this book to be ideal for anyone who is new to this piece of English history. "

" This book is light and easy to read gave a great essay on all three women and their roles in society in that time period . "

" It was enjoyable but I think I could have skipped it... "

" Philippa gregory is one of my favourite writers and I was interested to see what this non fiction account of the three women of the cousins war would be like after loving her fiction. I did find it interesting if not a bit repetitive. Still worth a read though! "

" Interesting look at Jacquetta Rivers, Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort. I didn't really learn anything new, but found it to be well written. I just wish that Phillipa Gregory would write about Henry VI's wife, Elizabeth of York. "

" No, it wasn't the most in-depth. However, this was meant to be a cursory, broad stroke look at these figures for readers who don't delve into histories outside of fiction that often. In that vein, I think it accomplished its job. "

" More of a historical essay on Three of the Women involved in the War of the Roses. "

" The authors give fair warning that few facts are know about Jacquetta, Elizabeth and Margaret and make a good case that the lack of information is a loss to history. Overall, however, what is available does not seem, to me, to be enough to sustain the book as written. Shall try the novels. "

" interesting perspectives on women that we have read about, but did not know that much about! "

" Not a typical Phillippa Gregory book. More of a biography and a bit more tedious to get thru. "

" It was enjoyable but I think I could have skipped it... "
