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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
