The Lady of the Rivers is the latest addition to a long line of popular books by Philippa Gregory. This book is no exception to her great writing skills. I do have to admit I love historical fiction, so this book was right up my ally. The story takes place in England during the time of the War of the Roses Jacquetta, Duchess of Bedford is the focus of the story. She marries at the age of 14 to a husband who only wants her "seeing" abilities. Thrust into court life whether she likes it or not, Jacquetta figures out her life is no longer hers. The young Queen Margaret of Anjou knows of Jacquetta's abilities and keeps her close to her side, putting Jacquetta's life in jeopardy. The story is an enjoyable read, and to find out what happens to the life Jacquetta longs for and the life she must live pick up the book at the library.
