“I really like this book. My aunt got it on CD because she drives around the state alot for business and she would play it everytime she got in the car, including a 8 hour trip I went on with her so needless to say it got me interested when I heard some. Have any authors tapped into stories in history like Anastasia the Russian Dutchess? Or any other stories that are historic?”
“Interesting insight into the beginning court of King Henery VIII. The book moves slowly and is not as good as The Other Boleyn Girl ,The Boleyn Inheritance, and The Queen's Fool . Interesting information about the Moors and Alhambra.”
“Well researched book. Hard to put down. Loved it!”
“Really liked this book - especially when she went off to war on her own and came back triumphant. ”
“i have only read a part of this book as they were from the libary and i had about 5 others same author to get throu. But I do reccomend others in this series by this author of the time of Henry 8th, Queen Elizabeth 1st. I loved all the books in that period. she tells history in fiction in a beliveable way and puts in various clothing, attitudes, food of the time period. i am English and so i may know more than those from other countries reading them but i found the books informative and belivable as stories of those time. this author has written of later times as well but i am only raelly interested in the above monachs so they fitted in very well for me as it is not normally a genre I would touch. Try them out and you will be amazed at the machinations of the day, not a lot of difference from now in the intensity and the 'selling ' of ones relatives to gain power and money. Evelyn”
“Does anyones else feel that it fell flat after "The Other Boleyn Girl"?The first Gregory book I read was "The Other Boleyn Girl". I absolutely loved it! Before I was even finished I started picking out which of her books to read next. I was really dissapointed with this book. The writing style seemed disruptive and I lost interrest in the characters about 2/3 of the way through the book. Did anyone else have this experience and if so, have you read other Gregory books that were more satisfying?”
“hmmm...maybe I will give it a try at some point...”
