 A Lovely Story, Though Not Strictly Historical February 24, 2008
microfiche (Scarborough, ON Canada)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I can't reveal the 'not strictly historical' part that hurt my enjoyment of this novel because it's central to the plot. It is a fine book: sensitively written characters, moving story, lovely language that draws the reader in and won't let go. Not the best of Ms. Gregory's best - and I enjoy her works - but it certainly deserves high praise. It is certainly a fresh approach to the old story of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.
More Great Historical Fiction from a Great! April 29, 2007

I read The Other Boleyn Girl last month last month. (See My Review). It was my first Phillippa Gregory book and I loved it. Since I was hungry for more Gregory I decided on The Constant Princess next. I actually listened to the Audio CD version. The narrator, Kate Burton brought Gregoys characters to life. I loved learning more about Catherine of Aragon and her fight to become Queen of England. Gregory captures the plight of women from the 15th and 16th century well. My only criticism is that Gregory ended the book too abruptly. She wrote about Catherines triumph in Scotland and then jumps to her death. I would have like to have read about what happen in between! Non the less, Im still hungry for more Phillippa Gregory.

this, like previous p gregory, is an inspiring & stimulating tale from the coffers of that colourful chap, king henry viii,
all these stories, like previous phillipa novels, always motivate me to brush up on my historical knowledge, & somehow the tudor dynasty is such a fascinating subject!
however, much as i would like to see her renditions of the rest of henry's "harem", i would also like to see something new from philippa, my favourite book is "the wise woman" which was equally fascinating & informative, so, i'm hoping she'll be branching out into other subjects!
also, why is it that when philippa's novels are reproduced for tv, they always totally lose their character!?
