A gentle look at a complicated time: 'The Lady of the Rivers' by Philippa Gregory


I found 'The Lady of the Rivers' disappointingly gentle, given the violent and precarious times. Jacquetta and her family never seem as endangered as I would have expected them to be. Historical events also tended to be summarized. I would have expected a person as close to them as Jacquetta would have been much more interested – allowing the author to really explore events, and the personal politics causing the events.
