DESCRIPCIÓN:

gripping and detailed chronicle, with plenty of court intrigue and politics to spice up the action . . . . Highly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review)"Infuses vitality into an oft-forgotten player in the aftermath of the War of the Roses--Margaret Poole, heiress to the defeated Plantagenet clan."--Closer "Margaret's story is shocking, deeply moving and offers an alternative view on a much-told tale. Gregory is on form here; her depiction of Henry VIII's transformation from indulged golden boy to sinister tyrant is perfectly pitched and seems more horrific still when we are made intimate witnesses to the devastation of Margaret's family. . . . I defy anyone to remain dry-eyed as the story reaches its tragic denouement."--The Sunday Express (UK)"The book's greatest strength is its first-hand, fascinating yet horrifying view of Henry VIII's transition from handsome young prince to monstrous tyrant. . . . Gregory takes us beyond the seductive trappings of historical detail and makes us feel the terror of what living through that turbulent period might have been like."--Miami Herald"Without a doubt, Gregory has made another powerful addition to the genre (so much so that I hesitate to even call it historical fiction). This historian's extensive knowledge of the English monarchy truly brings this famous story to life."--The Sun-News (Myrtle Beach) An excellent addition to the Tudor royalty genre, not only for its unique perspective, but also the easy flow of the narrative and the intriguing complexities of characters' personalities."--Historical Novel Society"Gregory ... always delivers the goods."-- "New York PostGregory's fans will recognize Margaret from 'The White Princess, ' but the character comes into her own in 'The King's Curse' as a multifaceted, ultimately sympathetic character. . . . The book . . . moves smoothly toward its harrowing finish. It is one of Gregory's best efforts yet."-- "Roanoke TimesIf only grade-school history books were written so vividly."-- "Entertainment WeeklyIn thoroughly researched, wonderfully realized settings, she can make a period come alive."-- "The Boston GlobeNobody does dynastic history like Gregory."-- "BooklistPhilippa Gregory turns real-life historical royalty into royally entertaining novels."-- "TimeSexy...Scandalous...Smart."-- "RedbookThe queen of royal fiction."-- "USA TodayThere's no question that she is the best at what she does."-- Associated PressThis rich tapestry brings to vivid life the court of Henry and Elizabeth. Meticulously drawn characters with a seamless blending of historical fact and fiction combine in a page-turning epic of a story. Tudor-fiction fans can never get enough, and they will snap this one up."-- "Library Journal (starred review), on The White PrincessAn illuminating portrait. . . Gregory moves confidently through a tangle of intrigue, revenge, and tyranny toward a shocking betrayal.-- "Publishers Weekly"Bring on the blood, sex and tears! . . . You name it, it's all here.-- "USA Today, on The White Princess"Gorgeous fun.-- "New York Daily News"Gregory manages to keep us in suspense as to what will befall her characters....Under [her] spell, we keep hoping history won't repeat itself."-- "Kirkus Reviews"Loyalties are torn, paranoia festers and you can almost hear the bray of royal trumpets as the period springs to life. It's a bloody irresistible read.-- "People Magazine, on The White Princess"The White Princess features one of the more intriguing theories about the possible fate of the princes.-- "The Washington Post, on The White Princess" From the #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the acclaimed Starz series The White Queen comes the story of lady-in-waiting Margaret Pole and her unique view of King Henry VIII's stratospheric rise to power in Tudor England.As an heir to the Plantagenets, Margaret is seen by the King's mother, the Red Queen, as a rival to the
