The Wars of the Roses that convulsed 15th-century England sprang from a family quarrel as fraught and intimate as any before or since. It is often viewed in terms of its male protagonists but, as this rich, epic history makes clear, women played a key role, among them the Yorkist matriarch Cecily Neville; Margaret of Anjou, formidable wife of the mad King Henry VI; and Margaret Beaufort, whose ambition for her son ushered in the Tudor dynasty.

Review:
"Gristwood's sensitive approach marks out Blood Sisters as much more than the narrative of an age.... It is an exploration of what it meant to be a medieval queen.... A compelling portrait of this bloody age, complete with the heartbreak and triumphs that went with it."--The Spectator

"A new and welcome perspective on the Wars of the Roses."--Sunday Times (London)

"Entertaining and vividly drawn."--Literary Review

"A revolutionary approach. For too long, history has been the purview of men, of kings and their battles, wars, conquests, murders and thirst for power.... Gristwood's perspective and lively writing are refreshing."--Toronto Star

"Arguing persuasively for the existence of a 'female network, '... Gristwood details the paths of seven royal women who transcended their roles as diplomatic pawns and heir producers."--The New Yorker
Book Description:
"[A] gem of a book... enlivened by incisive analysis, exquisite detail and an elegant and witty style."-Alison Weir, BBC History Magazine
