If you have read Gregory previously, you'll be disappointed

Being a big fan of the author, I expected more. As usual,the author did a great deal of research. However, the story just doesn't compare with some of her other novels. The Other Bolyen Girl was one of her best. If you want to read a great piece of historical fiction, choose it, and skip this one.

Made me read other Philippa Gregory

Once I read this book (about 1 year ago) I rushed out and picked up all of her books. However, this book is in between on the must read list of hers. When I decided to write a review I was thinking this book was just ok...but then I realized this is THE BOOK that turned me onto Philippa Gregory! I've since read 10 other of her books and this one falls in between. Thus if you have read Meridon, this book is much better...but compared to THe Other Boleyn Girl...this book is not nearly half as good!

Great book

I loved this book. I found it extremely interesting and very hard to put down at times. I would recomend it strongly. It's a creative portrayal of what goes on behind the scenes in 16th century England.

Interesting and provocative historical novel

I enjoyed the book. The author makes her theory work while giving interesting insights into the life of the times. She's a good craftswoman who knows how to twist together the threads of a novel. We'll likely never know the truth of this subject, but it's fun to imagine the woman who changed the world as a lovesick girl enjoying a lover's touch. I recommend it.
