The Queen's Fool : A Novel
4 journalers for this copy...
Imaginative, well-researched historical novel centered around a young Marrano woman who finds her way to the Tudor courts of England. I gave it a 10 for its insight into what such awful early experiences would have turned one into psychologically, and for its lack of stock characters. Really, really well-done IMO.
Sent to someone or other from this site the week before Winter Solstice.
SO very excited to read this! I read The Other Boleyn Girl and was fascinated by how Gregory draws you in with her simple descriptions of elaborate circumstances. When I read the description of this one, which is even MORE in my favorite period, I knew I had to read it. THank you so much, CathrynBauer!
Received from BountifulPots last night! I so enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl she thought I would like this one too! Will journal again when I've read and then pass along to BP's mother, who is also interested!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I caught it from Shaunessy and will release it back to her when I finish it. I'm about halfway thru now, and love it!
