I have had a go at re-writing this article to avoid paraphrasing but without much success. I just seem to end up with a biographical article about Elizabeth Woodville, which Wikipedia already has. Given the fact that the notability of the article has been questioned, can I suggest that it is marked for deletion, and that I could add a brief note to the article on Philippa Gregory indicating that the White Queen is a novel about the life of Elizabeth Woodville, queen consort of Edward IV and mother of the princes in the tower. Anyone interested in the plot could follow a link to the Elizabeth Woodville article.Dposte46 (talk) 17:00, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

That sounds like a fine idea to me. I'll just turn this into a redirect to Philippa Gregory, and then whenever additional reliable sources turn up (like book reviews or whatever) this can be rewritten and be more than just a plot summary which mirrors the biography.
