Good story about a questionable woman

Would you consider the audio edition of Margaret Beaufort to be better than the print version?
I personally enjoy holding and reading a book to listening to it. That said, I have very little time actually sit down and read but AM on the road a lot. For this reason audiobooks are a GODSEND!!!What other book might you compare Margaret Beaufort to and why?
I would say that books in this same venue would be similar to The White Queen or the Red Queen. However, those are not completely based in historical fact. It is my understanding that this book is, and perhaps one of the reasons I liked it so much is that it was still written in a way that did not feel like I was reading out of a textbook.Which character – as performed by Debra Burton – was your favorite?
Most of the book, if not all, was from Margaret's point of view so this question does not really apply.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Learning more about the live of Margaret before the birth of her son was the most interesting. You get a better feel for how difficult life was for her, and women in general, and just how much she went through even before the birth of Henry the VII.Any additional comments?
I would strongly recommend this book!Love those Crazy Tudors

Margaret was a crafty politician and courtier. She was also a devoted Christian and family woman who also became known for her patronage of philosophers and other intellectuals during her son's reign.
For a woman who had the odds stacked against her, her life story is very admirable. She took the reins of her own destiny and carved a path for herself, her son and descendants that altered the course of world events.
She was a true game changer and one of the few people of whom one can undoubtedly say, made history.

Awesome narrator and great historical analysis of 15th century England.
She won me over!

The main problem here is the narration. The flow is choppy and often robotic. Many words are mispronounced, and the narrator has real trouble reading original documents in a way that they make sense. There's an art to reading history books, and there are so many really good narrators out there.
Finally, there were incorrect words used. I don't know whether it was the author/editor or the narrator, but it happened quite often. While sometimes it was just an odd substitution of a similar-sounding word, sometimes it was jarring and confusing. As an example, Mary I was referred to as Margaret Beaufort's great grandfather rather than her great granddaughter. There is a difference!
Interesting but flawed
