‘It is a credit to Gregory that she is able to sustain interest in an epic-length tale when the ending is one of the most well-known moments in English history. The very believable dialogue and detail take you all the way into the claustrophobic privy chambers of the royal palaces…Gregory has launched herself into a popular period and produced something with that most underrated of virtues: readability.’ THE TIMES

‘This compulsively readable novel is a wonderful account of the Tudor court…This is the finest historical novel of this year’ DAILY MAIL
To get your hands on a copy of the book why not buy a copy online at amazon.co.uk.

    This impressive English country house, began life as a manor house. In the 11th century it was owned by Harold Godwinson (later to become the King of England), and then William I gave it to his chaplain. By 1091 it had become the country palace of the bishops. Towards the end of the 14th century, Sir Nicholas Dagworth (an important aide to Edward III) settled at Blickling, and had a rectangular, moated house built. By the end of the 15th century, Blickling Hall had passed into the ownership of the Boleyn family, and tradition has it that this was the birth place of Anne Boleyn, although no evidence exists to substantiate this. Eventually, in 1616, the estate was sold to Sir Henry Hobart and his descendants remained at Blickling Hall until 1940.
