Publisher's Summary

THE FIRST IN A STUNNING SERIES, THE COUSINS' WAR, FROM INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR PHILIPPA GREGORY

Set amid the tumult and intrigue of The War of the Roses, Philippa Gregory tells the story of one woman's ambitious ascent to royalty during the unsolved mystery around her sons' imprisonment in the Tower in a captivating family drama.

Elizabeth Woodville is a common woman who ascends to royalty by virtue of her beauty. A woman who rises to the demands of her position and fights tenaciously for the success of her family. A woman whose two sons become the central figures in a mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the Princes in the Tower. Their fate remains unknown to this day.

From her uniquely qualified perspective, Philippa Gregory explores the most famous unsolved mystery, informed by impeccable research and framed by her inimitable storytelling skills.

Not the same as the book.

Great audio but If your listening and reading the book at the same time the audio has cut a lot from the actual book.

Lost track of who’s who

I had to keep referring to Wiki to keep track of who was who. Too many Henry’s, Richards, George’s and Elizabeth’s. True to history but what a murderous treacherous bunch they were. I don’t think I could read another book in the series - too tragic. Emilia Fox’s narration was amazing though.
