Kingmaker's Daughter Philippa Gregory Paperback Historical Novel Book

Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory. The Kingmaker’s Daughter is the gripping story of the daughters of the man known as the 'Kingmaker', Richard Neville Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters Anne and Isabel as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to be influential players in their own right. In this novel Philippa Gregory explores the lives of two fascinating young sisters, Anne and Isabel Neville. At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister married to the enemy. Anne manages her own escape by marrying Richard Duke of Gloucester, but her choice will set her on a collision course with the overwhelming power of the royal family and may cost the lives of those she loves most in the world.
