I just finished reading The Other Queen and it was just as good as I hoped it would be! After hearing a class on Henry VIII taught by a friend of mine, I became quite interested in the Tudor age in England. I've read all the books in chronological order and am so glad that I did. The Constant Princess had been sent to me by my sister, and I had left it unread on a shelf for at least a year not realizing the subject matter of the book. Once I started, I was hooked!

This book is 433 pages and I read it in a week, which is fast for me. I love being able to visualize what it was like in a different time. Gregory conjures up vivid images that makes it easy for me to imagine the difficulties of that era.
