From Booklist
Just when we think we have heard the last of the Boleyns, after The Other Boleyn Girl (2002), Gregory resurrects the ill-fated family in the persona of Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. After her damning testimony results in the execution of both her husband and her sister-in-law, Anne Boleyn, Jane continues her ruthless scheming as she serves as lady-in-waiting to Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's reviled Bavarian-born fourth wife, and naive, doomed [fifth] wife, Catherine Howard. Narrated in turn by this trio of intriguing women, this tale of court politics and treachery unfolds from three equally compelling points of view.

******************************************

Philippa Gregory has again written a wonderful book depicting life in the Tudor times. A great read.

Journal Entry 4 by jennymidget from Bellbowrie, Queensland Australia on Thursday, May 28, 2009

This was absolutely gorgeous - richly detailed, beautifully written, wonderful flowing story. I've always liked Anne of Cleves and wanted to know more about how she got the raw deal she did, and this was wonderful for that, made my heart go out to her and made me admire her even more. I also found myself feeling sympathetic to Katherine Howard, who I'd always thought of as a nasty adulteress, while I know it's a work of fiction Gregory's story changed my mind a bit. Well worth the read!

The book is finally here - it seems to have been travelling almost two months between Australia and Finland! Thanks for sending it to me, jennymidget, I've liked most of the books by Gregory so far.

I chose this book to travel with me to London last week, I thought it might be proper reading in England! Historical fiction isn't my favourite genre, but this story was written beautifully. In the beginning I had difficulties to follow the characters, but I could follow the plot better later. This book inspired me to read more about English history and Henrik VIII and his wives.
