I know I say this all the time
about Philippa Gregory…
that she is a guilty pleasure of mine,
that I am always a little shy to say
how much I like her writing…
but…I really, really do.

And this book did not disappoint…
not me anyway.
I have seen some poor reviews for it
but I enjoyed it as much as I didn’t like
(despised) James…
I loved the descriptions of the marshy tidelands,
the primitiveness, the barren landscape,
I was on the edge of my seat at one point and
the writing took me away.

And I was very excited to learn that this is
actually the first in a series of books!
I am looking forward to more!
