    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)

  • Big change from her other works

    I read The Other Boleyn Girl and then proceeded to read every P. Gregory novel I could get my hands on. Each one that centered on historical characters was beautiful. Well written and delightful to read. This book was all about incestuous lovers. I couldn't relate to the characters. Worse I couldn't even care about the characters. It became hard to read...so much so that after reading the first couple of chapters of the second book I am putting it down. Half price here I come.

  • Not worth over 600 pages

    Storyline is boring; I usually like Philippa Gregory novels but this one is a miss.
