After Jacquetta’s husband, the Duke of Bedford, dies, she flouts convention by marrying one of his courtiers, then becomes part of Queen Margaret of Anjou’s inner circle. Set during the Wars of the Roses, this is classic Gregory — a smart, colourful read about a woman neglected by history.

The Lady of the Rivers, Philippa Gregory, $32.
