The Kingmaker’s Daughter—Philippa Gregory’s first sister story since The Other Boleyn Girl—is the gripping tale 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.

Grave Pawns: Civilizations Animal VictimsGrave Pawns: Civilizations Animal Victims

This book peers into the depths of human behavior in order to answer a festering question of good and evil, truth and illusion: Why does humankind have such a fervor for victimizing animals?--victimizing them in slaughterhouses, in laboratories, on land and sea, for the satisfaction of appetites both holy and unholy? What we find once we gaze deeply enough, and earnestly enough, is something that Carl Jung called the shadow--a hidden crucible of behavior in which the angels and demons of our nature merge. Grave Pawns is a tour de force of interdisciplinary thinking, combining a wide variety of subject areas into a compelling theory of violence against animals.
