Excellent novel for lovers of Tudor history. The novel is about the relationships between Katherine of Aragon Henry eight's first wife Princess Margaret sister of Henry the Eight and Princess Mary also sister of Henry 8th. The author Phillipa Gregory is an historian thus the novel is historically correct. She has wonderfully depicted the life of these royal tudor women, their jealousy, resentments and sympathy for one another in a world where violence, treachery rivalry dominated. It is interesting to see how these royal woman coped with the patriarchal chaotic authority of Henry the Eight, his advisors and the constant jockeying for power in England, Scotland and Medieval Europe.
