This book is truly gripping, making history come to life. The story is well told and interesting at every point.
Philippa is a brilliant author, and a well research novel. the other Boleyn girls is a excellent story, with highly believable dialogue and interesting adaptation on a previously told story - I look forward to reading her latest novel. -
