I do think her books set in the Tudor time period is good too, although I've only read one of those. <BR/><BR/>Iliana - I'm sorry to hear <I>The Wise Woman</I> is a disappointment. I'm hoping her next book will be better! :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-5474805850325210622009-01-23T11:58:00.000+08:002009-01-23T11:58:00.000+08:00I'd like to this give one a try.

I thought Gregory did a great job at keeping the reader engaged and the book just seemed so suspenseful to me even though we all know how that story ends. Last year I tried to read another of her books, The Wise Woman, and it was just awful. I was so disappointed because I just couldn't believe it was written by the same author! So, needless to say I definitely want to read something else by her and see how that goes.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-35742139692934865962009-01-22T13:09:00.000+08:002009-01-22T13:09:00.000+08:00Melody - This sounds like a great book.

I really enjoyed that book! :)<BR/><BR/>Sandy - I agree about the history classes, LOL! <BR/><BR/>Beth - Me too! I always think she writes more about the Tudors. I'm glad she writes other settings than that as well. <BR/><BR/>Trish - I'm beginning to collect her other novels slowly. I love her writing style!<BR/><BR/>Dar - Thank you! I really enjoyed this book! Very refreshing from her Tudor series.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - I didn't know about it either until I stumbled upon this book sometime ago I visited the bookstore. I thought the cover also helps in catching my attention too. ;)<BR/><BR/>Naida - Thanks! I'm glad to hear you're a fan of Philippa Gregory too! :)<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - Thanks!
