The Other Queen: A Novel
Philippa Gregory

Touchstone, 2008

Not her best foray
This is by no means Gregory's best foray into Tudor-era historical fiction (that honor is still reserved for The Other Boleyn Girl), nevertheless, I would recommend this book to fans of her other works. It gives a decent fictional insight into the lives of two other ...

Enlightening and useful--a must-read
