(booksense) Phillipa Gregory Reads The White Queen at Agnes Scott! Philippa Gregory , The White Queen. Phillippa Gregory Reads The White Queen at Agnes Scott College at Presser Hall The White Queen tells the story of Elizabeth Woodville, a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition who, catching the eye of the newly crowned boy king, marries him in secret and ascends to royalty. While Elizabeth rises to the demands of her exalted position and fights for the success of her family, her two sons become central figures in a mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the missing princes in the Tower of London whose fate is still unknown. From her uniquely qualified perspective, Gregory explores this most famous unsolved mystery of English history, informed by impeccable research and framed by her inimitable storytelling skills. Gregory masterfully chronicles this family drama through the lives of its women and in The White Queen through the viewpoint of Elizabeth Woodville - the first commoner ever to be married for love, to an English King raised in a kingdom at war, driven by her own desire and ambition, and advised by an acknowledged witch: her mother Jacquetta. Gregory artfully weaves in the supernatural and magical elements of Elizabeth’s story as she rises to the demands of her position and fights for the success and even survival of her family.

When the King of England falls in love with Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner, and marries her within weeks, she is thrown into the center of the struggle for power in the country, which came to be known as the War of Roses. Elizabeth is driven by her own desire and ambition and is advised by a known witch, her mother. Gregory tells the story of this family drama through the lives of its women, weaves in the supernatural and magical elements of Elizabeth’s story and suggests a plausible explanation for the disappearance of “the princes in the Tower.” (Talk & signing at Decatur Presbyterian Church hosted by the Georgia Center for the Book) ***TIME TO BE CONFIRMED*** (jasbro)… (more) Event location: Decatur Presbyterian Church, 205 Sycamore Street, Decatur, GA 30030 Philippa Gregory Warwick's, Friday, October 17, 2008 at 7:30pm
