“Suspenseful and detailed, the novel captures a dramatic moment in history and will sear you with sorrow for this doomed daughter of the last tsar.” —People magazine on The Tsarina’s Daughter
“I read The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette in two days, and when I finished it, I re-read the final pages, as hungry for more as a child scraping the last crumbs of chocolate cake off her plate with her fingers.” —New York Times Book Review on The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette
“Entertaining.” —USA Today on The Last Wife of Henry VIII
“Steer Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory fans immediately to this satisfying read-alike . . . [an] historical tour de force.” —Booklist on The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots
“An exquisitely realistic portrait of Tudor England. . . . compelling reading. . . . Historical fiction fans can’t get enough of the Tudors; this engaging story is a worthy addition to the genre.” —Library Journal on Rival to the Queen

My partner brought one of her books home for me last year, we sell old books and we’re out hunting several times a week, her bio of Anne Boleyn. She’s actually the first full biography I had read on Anne, previously I had only read Starkey’s Six Wives. I can’t tell you what her fiction is like but I’d suspect it’s a bit like PG, she went on a bit about Anne’s supposed sixth finger and “devil’s teats”
A couple of weeks ago I picked up a novel on Eleanor of Aquitane which claimed it was “better than Philippa Gregory”, when I got home I discovered it was a Mill and Boon author *sigh*
