I have only recently become a fan of Ms. Gregory's work, with a purchase of "The Other Boleyn Girl" while vacationing in Bermuda. Something about the cover and the title grabbed me. Well, with that book I have become hooked. Ms. Gregory has an amazing ability for attention to every little detail from clothing, to smells, to moods, etc. I actually felt like I was sitting in the room that she was describing. That I was a member of the court, watching it all happen. Since that first book I have read a few more, including Earthly Joys and they all have that same ability to make you feel completely intertwined in the story - and not be able to put it down. One of my favorite ebay searches is new books by this author, so I never have a delay in between books - I have a fresh one ready. I decided to buy it on ebay because the bookstores don't have a huge variety of her books - mostly just the newest hardcover (The Constant Princess) and her most popular (The Other Boleyn Girl). And once you begin reading her books, you will find you want them all..Read full review
I found it to be a wonderful story. I enjoyed the other sequences as well and if the story continued would buy that book also. I am a fan of Philippa Gregory and read any of her books that I can get my hands on. Enjoy !!!!!!!!
Not exactly what I expected compared to her other novels.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I like this period of our times ,it is a very good author that puts a person into the story if you are a a imaginary reader.
