For a reader who's read and *totally enjoyed* "The Other Boylen Girl", which other Philippa Gregory titles would you recommend?


Could you include a brief book summary -- TIA.

I liked The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover.

I'm reading The Queen's Fool right now and just love it. It's all about Queen Mary's reign. She became known as Bloody Mary because she had so many "heretics" burned at the stake, but the book actually paints her in a somewhat sympathetic light. I jsut love how Gregory writes. She has a new one coming out in December about Katerine of Aragon. Sounds good:)
