Historical Literature, by Philippa Gregory
I have rated this two and one half STARS on my 3-star rating scale. I just felt it was TOO LONG. Not that I could have edited it down but with about 150 pages left, I was ready for the saga to be over. I was only curious as to the charges and process the king would use to set his absolute power on the subject of ‘failed marriage’.
Many highnotes must be sited; I did enjoy the book and loved the prose, the language, the detail, the pace of the story…. for most of it. I really did find myself rooting for Mary; and for Mary to have true love.
Though enjoyable, this won’t be one of my favorites. I will definitely read Ms Gregory’s other works. Someday. Actually, my very favorite part of the book was the author’s comments on how exactly she constructs her novels.
