Another Gregory Gem!

Just like everything else Philipa Gregory writes, The Virgin's Lover is completley enchanting! Once again she visits the Tudor period and drops us into their world of lust and intrigue. All of Her books are beautifully written and this one is no different.

This book tells a fictionalized account of the rumored romance between Robert Dudley and Queen Elizabeth. Were they truly lovers? How did it happen? Was it true love? Or simply a quest for power on Dudley's part? What might have happened between closed doors?

I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical fictin or romance, because The Virgin's Lover fits into both genres nicely. Give it a shot, you won't be disapointed!

Great Elizabethan Romance Novel

I rencently watch the PBS Masterpiece Theater version of the life of Queen Elizabeth I called; "The Virgin Queen". It was quite enjoyable except, I felt that they could have expanded a little more on the relationship between Elizabeth and Robert Dudley since, Dudley was supposedly the one true love of Elizabeth's life. Thanks to Philippa Gregory's "The Virgin's Lover", we get what PBS missed.I read the book in two days and went back to the book store looking for more books by Phillippa. I am currently reading "The Other Boleyn Girl" and loving it just as much as I did "The Virgin's Lover". If your into historical romance, Phillippa is one of the best writers out there.

Great book!

I really like Gregory's books that deal with the Tudor dynasty. I haven't liked her other books quite as well. The Other Boleyn Girl remains my favorite Philippa Gregory book.

Ulitmate Reader Enjoyment

After first reading this book I thought the portrayal of Elizabeth was somewhat harsh. Shortly thereafter, I saw the PBS Masterpiece Theater presentation of her and consider Philippa Gregory's treatment of her kind!
The book is wonderful and weaves the story of her reign and relationship with Robert Dudley to the ultimate reader enjoyment. Gregory fans will no doubt loves this story.
