![]() ![]() ![]() ~Lit Feline-I enjoyed The Queen's Fool more than The Other Boleyn Girl. I also did not know very much about Queen Mary, except her nickname, and though this was by no means a complete history of her life, it was a glimpse of what she could have been like as a person. ~Trish-I think the new format might be better suited to a shorter book, or one with less going on at the same time! I found it a different look at the history to see it from the perspective of a young Jewish girl looking in. This one, however, sounds like one that I'll really like. ![]() I read The Other Boleyn Girl a while ago and while I liked it, wasn't overly impressed. Of all of Philippa Gregory's books, this is the one I am most looking forward to reading. I wonder if there are any books like these about Queen Mary? There seems to be so many about Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth that surely there is one about Mary? :) Sounds like a really fascinating book-I had no idea exactly what it was about, but the perspective a Jewish person in the heat of the battle between Protestants and Catholics sounds very fresh and different. I've thought about adopting it (but I'm lazy). Great review!! I like this format and I know that Bookfool uses it as well. ![]()
