The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory


This book was really good. It's about Elizabeth I and the first two years of her reign. The history is amazing but the book contained quite a bit of sex and innuendos that I didn't think was necessary.

I have always been interested in The Royal Family from those early centuries and when Henry VIII reformed the church.

Philippa Gregory knows amazing things about that time period and completely dedicated to making her books as historically accurate as possible. She travels to the actual places she writes about and does so much research to make sure nothing is falsified.

I love her writing but this wasn't my favorite book of hers. I'm currently reading The Boleyn Inheritance and so far it's my favorite and once I finish I will give a good report.
