Philippa Gregory

Last month I read The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and I it. I thought she did a great job integrating the history with the fiction. Now I can't wait to read The Queen's Fool. Has anybody else read her novels? Leave your reaction here

I've seen her books in my local library and had thought about getting one and reading it, but I wasn't sure that I would like it since I'd never heard anything about it.

But if it's good, then I may just have to give it a look.

The Other Boleyn Girl is fantastic! I've read a few of her other ones, The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover, but I didn't like those as much as the first.

Has anyone read her Meridion series? Is that the name of the series or just one of the books?

No I haven't read any of her other series.

I'd love to see The Other Boleyn Girl made for television or even a full-length film.

TOBG was made for British television (BBC) as a miniseries just a year or two ago and they're actually in the process of casting for a full-length feature film with rumours of Keira Knightley playing either Anne or Mary.

I liked TOBG but haven't read too much of the rest of Gregory's work. Any recommendations?

I read The Other Boleyn Girl over the summer and liked it. I'm thinking of picking up another of her books when I get the chance.

I've read The Other Boleyn Girl and saw only a bit of the tv production. I've also read The Queen's Fool. I'll have to check out The Virgin's Lover.
