I have voted for the books by Philippa Gregory which i KNOW i have read without going back & checking my records.
I intend to someday go back & read the books in chronological order. The first one I read, The Taming of the Queen (viewpoint character=Catherine Parr), was fairly late in the series. It was for my F2F book club in 2016.
Even though i knew that Catherine Parr survived her royal husband (she was wife #6 of Henry VIII) i found that the way Gregory wrote made her story suspenseful. Since then i have read about 4 or 5 or 6 more of her books---but not in any semblance of order.
Here is a QUESTION for all of you Philippa Gregory fans: which of her characters would you like to spend time with--a mug of beer, a glass of wine, or (these next beverages would be NEW to these 15th and 16th century folks) a cup of coffee or tea?
I have a short list, so far: Catherine Parr, Mary Boleyn & her 2nd husband [i forget his name], & Anthony Woodville. There is a woman who was a guardian of some noble or royal child but i do not remember even in WHICH book.
Although Gergory makes all of her viewpioint characters (& most of the others) multi-dimensional with good qualities & bad ones---well most of them i just would NOT want to have a conversation with any of them except for the list i made above.
Who would YOU want to meet?
