OH FREAKING NO. Trashiest historical fiction I've ever read and that's saying something, because I've read one where Cleopatra is a vampire. Who runs around in broad daylight.

I swore off Philippa Gregory after this book. I wish there was a negative score so I could give it that.

this was quite good quite entertaining idk why i'm on such a tudor kick rn how many times can i read the same story told over and over

Finally read this one. Has sparked my interest in royal families for sure. What a soap opera!

Do *not* go looking at this book for an idea of what happened during Anne Boleyn life in England and as Henry's queen. There's a lot of supposition and historical rumors.

This is one of my favorite books! I love this time period and I love this author. I read it twice already!

Listened to this on audiobook and it was fantastic! I'd seen the movie before, but the book was loads better. I loved the perspective of Henry VIII's reign from the point of view of Mary Boleyn. Her story was fascinating and I'm excited to read more by Philippa Gregory.

I LOVED this book!

Could not put this down!!! Opened the door for me to the Britsh royalty and the Tudor Era, however untrue some of the events may be, I do not know but the story was magnificent.
