About this listen
A SWEEPING NOVEL RICH IN PASSION AND LEGEND FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, PHILIPPA GREGORY
‘This is a man’s world, Jacquetta, and some women cannot march to the beat of a man’s drum. Do you understand?’
1435. Rouen. Jacquetta of Luxembourg is left a wealthy young widow when her husband, the Duke of Bedford, dies. Her only friend in the great household is Richard Woodville, the Duke’s squire, and it is not long before the two become lovers and marry in secret.
The Woodvilles return to the Lancaster court, where Jacquetta becomes close friends with young King Henry VI’s new queen. But she can sense a growing threat from the people of England, and the danger of royal rivals. The king slides into a mysterious sleep; Margaret, his queen, turns to untrustworthy favourites for help; and Richard, Duke of York, threatens to overturn the whole kingdom for his rival dynasty, the House of York.
Jacquetta fights for her king, her queen and her daughter Elizabeth Woodville, for whom she senses an extraordinary future.

Good but left wanting more of the story
This is the abridged version so the story is a bit disjointed and it feels like there is a lot missing.

Very Short and left wanting
I really do not understand the purpose of Abridged novels - unless its targeted to those with ADD
I am sure the actual book is magnificent like all of Philippa Gregory's books - but for some reason they only have this one in the abridged version.
Was like a summary of events - I may need to buy the book to find out what was missed

Philippa Gregory does it again
If I ever pick up anything written by Philippa Gregory I am never disappointed. Truth is always stranger than fiction. I always feel like I am right there with the characters of the book hanging on to the edge of my seat.

Abrupt, but still enjoyable
Story feels abrupt in parts, almost like it is abridged, but I can't see anything in the details indicating it is. Still enjoyable, but I couldn't immerse myself in their world quite as much as in her other stories.

Missing Chapters?
Why are there chapters missing? I've noticed at least twice now that partial or entire chapters that contain important parts of the story have been entirely skipped over. It's very noticeable (I own the hardcopy) and I'm not impressed. Whether it's because I used my free token or not, does not inspire me to spend actual money to purchase more.

Really didn’t grab me like her other books
Just wanted it to end. No real depth to the characters and just monotonous. Would not recommend.
