I have been a huge Philippa Gregory fan...until I read this book. She has hinted at incest before and included graphic sexual scenes, so I was not entirely shocked by the subject matter. And I am far from easily offended, but this story pushed me to a very uncomfortable place. Perhaps, that's a compliment to the skills of the writer and a comment on my tolerance, but nonetheless, I will be taking a break from Gregory's offerings for a while.

And to make matters worse, I got my mom hooked on Gregory as well, so when she asked to borrow this one, I declined to let her have it. No one wants to watch a graphic, incestual, rated R movie with Mom, right?
