I was very disappointed with the book. I've read some other books by Philippa Gregory and therefore was full of anticipation of another work from her pen. However, my expectations were not met. It lacks the figures to of character depth, also the venue was as good as not circumscribed, which made it difficult for me to can me empathize well in the book. All in all, it was the first book in years that I could not read to the end, because it was boring and dull. However, I would like 2 stars awarded for its proximity to the historical facts.
