It's giving my stitching time some serious competition. Anybody read
other Phillippa Gregory books? Is she always this good? And is she
historically accurate (i.e., was there a Mary Boleyn, mistress to Henry
before Anne?).

I don't know about Phillippa Gregory, but there was indeed a Mary
Boleyn, mistress to Henry before her sister Anne.

Thank you! What a good article!

Finished the book this morning, and will enjoy "digesting" it throughout
the day. Next one on the pile is the new one by Adriana Trigiani. Anyone
read it yet? I love her "Big Stone Gap" series, but this one is a
different plot.
