it has got to be one of my favourite books
tudor history is absolutely fascinating to me and it is fast becoming a passion. this book is brilliant - especially as it is written in the first person through so many character's eyes
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
anyone else love this book as much as me?

I have to say I didn't like it that much. Couldn't put my finger on it but felt something was lacking and I was disappointed.

I love any thing tudor and especially Phillippa Gregory and Alison Weir. The Boleyn Inheritance was fantastic.
Really liked innocent traitor, her mother is portrayed as such a bitch isn't she? I've read Sisters who would be queen by Leanda De Lisle which is a biography of jane and her 2 sisters and is also very good.

I loved Innocent Traitor! Just finished The Lady Elizabeth, which was just as good, and used one of the characters for a 'bit' part, which was nice!
I loved that too, and have not long finished the one about Mary Queen of Scots. (can't remember the title though
)
