How does Philippa Gregory do it? We know the history and often know how the story will end - but her narrators are so human, the dilemmas so real that we can't put the books down. In this new spin on the Henry VIII saga, the main character, Margaret Pole, rises through court to become guardian of Henry's only child, Princess Mary. The ebb and flow of Margaret's fortunes are riveting right through their startling conclusion. A must-read for historical fiction fans.
