I could actually picture you being hit over the head with the book, Ha!<br /><br />Thanks for joining in the party.

I look forward to having a look thru it! <br /><br />I read The White Queen too, and I agree with what you said. The Other Boleyn Girl was great too! <br /><br />Cheers!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703297010445873719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-8864598155175678922009-10-09T21:52:34.920-05:002009-10-09T21:52:34.920-05:00Nice review!

It was still a good read though.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-34596142787533926952009-10-09T14:17:13.062-05:002009-10-09T14:17:13.062-05:00I still want to read this one someday.

Her sons on the other hand, big speculation about them and how they died. So little is written about the women during this time period. If you like Gregory, you'd probably like another favorite of mine, Anya Seton. She wrote Katherine, about the wife of John Gaunt, one of my all-time favorite books. Gregory mimics her style a lot.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434184208280400768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-7053632010947119492009-10-09T08:21:16.885-05:002009-10-09T08:21:16.885-05:00Thwack!

While I was not a fan of the witchcraft part of the story, I did think she ultimately tied it in nicely at the end so I forgave it. :-)<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.com
