This novel was adapted into the recent movie with The Incredible Hulk, Jordan 2 Delta and Queen Amidala. I picked it up because the book is always better than the movie.
I don’t know if the movie was any good, but this is a very nice piece of historical fiction. I am normally not a fan of historical fiction cause it plays fast and loose with the facts and I have two history degrees. Frequently, they attribute modern sensibilities to historical figures.
Now, this is still a novel so there are facts that change, but Greogry manages to represent the Tudor period’s attitude regarding the place of women and the literal pimping of daughters to advance a family’s position.
I enjoyed this. I plan to pick up some more of this woman’s work.
