Lively, vibrant, sensitive, descriptive, captures key events and struggles in the War of Roses. What frightens me is the sheer size of this series. In, closing, as Jacquetta abandons her friend Margaret for the house of York, so too, does Philippa Gregory abandon a much defamed Queen to the slanders of history. Consider serving foods from the time period at your book discussion. She brings the era she is exploring to life and always tells the story from such a personal point of view that you feel you are, or at least know, the main character. When Margaret of Anjou is brought over to England to marry King Henry of Lancaster, Jacquetta, as her relative, is retrieved from the countryside to befriend the new Queen. And that was supposedly years after Jacquetta lived. Like some of her characters, she practices alchemy, she spins gold from paper pages. I really got the feeling that the book was more of a chore for PG to write rather than a pleasure. It did start to pick up a little bit better after the half way point.. She is a direct descendant of Melusina, the water goddess of legend, and this lineage gives her some powers that separate her from the everyday people around her. As in Tattooist , the writing itself is workmanlike at best and often overwrought.

  • Philippa Gregory
    Philippa Gregory Philippa Gregory was an established historian and writer when she discovered her interest in the Tudor period and wrote the novel The Other Boleyn Girl which was made into a TV drama, and a major film. Now, six novels later, she is looking at the family that preceded the Tudors: the magnificent Plantaganets, a family of complex rivalries, loves, and hatreds. She lives with her family on a small farm in Yorkshire where she keeps horses, hens and ducks. Visitors to this site, Philippa Gregory.com become addicted to the updates of historical research and the progress of ducklings. Her other great interest is the charity that she founded nearly twenty years ago: Gardens for The Gambia. She has raised funds and paid for almost 200 in the primary schools of this very dry and poor African country, and thousands of school children have been able to learn market gardening in the school gardens watered by the wells. The charity also provides wells for womens’ collective gardens and for The Gambia’s only agricultural college at Njawara. A past student of Sussex University, and a PhD and Alumna of the Year 2009 of Edinburgh University, her love for history and commitment to historical accuracy are the hallmarks of her writing. She also reviews for the Washington Post, the LA Times, and for UK newspapers, and is a regular broadcaster on television, radio, and webcasts from this website, philippagregory.com. Philippa is a patron of The UK Chagos Support Association, which supports the Chagos islanders in their struggle against British injustice.
