Editorial Reviews
‘A master storyteller…Gregory captures the intrigue and suspense of life at the Tudor court in vivid detail. She skilfully combines painstaking historical research with a gripping fictional narrative and her characters are so lifelike and engaging that they practically leap from the page’ —Daily Express
‘A cleverly wrought political novel. In introducing Parr to a new audience, Gregory has done the first lady of English letters something of a favour’ —Sunday Telegraph
‘Gregory dramatises the story of a reluctant royal wife negotiating the anxious, dangerous years of her marriage… written with her usual authority and capacity for great drama’ —Sunday Times
‘The Taming of the Queen reads like a clever, intimate thriller’ —The Times

‘The contemporary mistress of historical crime’ —Kate Mosse
‘Popular historical fiction at its finest, immaculately researched and superbly told’ —The Times
‘Gregory creates a world in which all but the most determined women are tools in the hands of powerful men… past-paced, convincing, vivid and engrossing’ —Daily Express
‘Philippa Gregory has another hit on her hands with this gripping page-turner. Her novel simplifies and humanises the complex politics of the period’ —Sunday Times

‘Rollicking, page-turning stuff’ —Metro
‘Popular history at its best’ —Daily Mail

‘Gregory makes history come alive ... riveting’ —Daily Express
