  4.0 out of 5 stars Very well researched and interesting just a little different than a typical Gregory book

  I am a massive Philippa Gregory fan but this didn’t seem like her best . I read a lot of fiction but also read historical fiction on a regular basis ( especially British history ) but this didn’t feel like a fictional book or a historical book I don’t know quite how to describe it ? Absolutely some good historical tidbits but the delivery was off , it jumped all over the place modern to medieval to Tudor without really establishing a theme . Perhaps if the book had been set out with a more cohesive timeline from past to present instead of bouncing all over it would have been more enjoyable. Of course there is a ton of great research and interesting facts and as anyone who has read a Philippa Gregory book knows , she is a fantastic researcher so it’s certainly worth reading . If your looking for lots of very interesting facts about the role of women throughout history then I highly recommend this book just know that the delivery is a bit chaotic.
