The White Princess by Philippa Gregory (historical fiction 2013)

The story is told from the POV of Elizabeth of York, which is an interesting idea.  While Gregory does weave a good yarn, sometimes she's lazy with the words themselves, tending to repeat certain phrases and words several times.  As is the norm for most historical fiction writers, she uses a lot of gossipy "history" without evidence as the basis for her story.
