What are peoples favourite Philippa Gregory Novels
Mine would have to be The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance

I used to like the Favoured Child but that depresses me now

[EC2]

A Respectable Trade. That one was glued to my hand. I enjoyed The Wise Woman too as a creepy tale.

[Vanessa]

The Other Boleyn Girl and The Wise Woman. I really liked the Wideacre trilogy, but it's sometime since I read them - they were actually my first PG books.

[SCW]

The First Philippa Gregory novel I ever read was the Favoured Child. (Then Wideacre and Meridon) Despite disliking the protagonist Alys, I found the Wise Woman enthralling when I first read it. Am looking for a copy of Fallen Skies which covers the 1920s.

That would be one of my favourites as well as The other Boleyn girl.

My two favorites also, with more weight on Inheritance. I haven't read a Respectable Trade, but one of these days I mean to.

The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance

[Divia]

I thought The Boleyn Inheritance was by far her best.

A respectable trade had me rolling my eyes. The love affair between the slave and the white chick was just too much.

Wideacre made my eyes roll when the protagonist explains that a minor character was exiled to Australia. Only thing was protagonist dies in 1775.
People were not transported to Australia until 1787. Oops

[Carla]

Of the ones I've read (not all of them by any means) the one I liked best was The Boleyn Inheritance, mainly for Kitty Howard.

[Brenna]

The first historical fiction book I ever read was Philippa Gregory's The Constant Princess and because it launched my never ending interest in all things English Monarchy, it will always have a special place in my heart. :D

[rebecca]

My favourite and the first PG book I read was TOBG, followed by The Boleyn Inheritance I enjoyed reading them both. The rest I have been disappointed with. What saved The Red Queen was Philippa's take on Thomas Stanley-What a villain.

Now I am waiting for The Cousins War and LOTR.

LOTR = Lord of the Rings in my mind. :D

[Nefret]

I liked The Boleyn Inheritance the best.

[Vanessa]

So far, my favourite is The Other Boleyn Girl, although I very much enjoyed The Wise Woman.

[Madeleine]

LOTR = Lord of the Rings in my mind. :D

Yes I had to think about that one too!;)

I've only read TOBG so far, which I credit with re-starting my love for HF, and I really enjoyed it.

[Sharz]

TOBG and the Boleyn Inheritance, with honorable mention to The Constant Princess.

[cw gortner]

The Queen's Fool and The Boleyn Inheritance are my favorites in her 'royals' books. I also really liked Earthly Joys and A Respectable Trade.

[rebecca]

Divia--"LOTR = Lord of the Rings in my mind..."Madeleine--Yes I had to think about that one too.."

LOL Ladies. After I wrote that & clicked submit, I then remembered that Lord of the Rings has the same initials:D...heehee:p

C.W. gortner--"I also really liked Earthly Joys and A Respectable Trade."

I have been thinking about those two books, but what put me off EJ is the thought that it's a book about a gardener? And I hate gardening!:D But then again I hate cooking but I buy tons of cook books:rolleyes:....I call them my pornography:D

Another PG book that I enjoyed was 'The Little House' and I also liked the TV movie of it starring Francesca Annis as the MIL from hell.

This is my favorite so far, too. Although I've quite a few yet to catch up on...

[nona]

I have to say since I've read Chadwick, Penman and several other authors I've not been able to read anything by PG, lately her books just dont grab me like the earlier ones. If I remember right the vey first book I read was Wideacre and though sometimes the story seemed too much I gobbled it up and Favored Child & Meridon too, then I devoured TOBG, The Queens Fool etc etc. I would have to say though that Wideacre Triology is my favorite of hers. The Boleyns are heavily written about by many authors and in many different styles so I tend to like books that are not in the majority as far as the subject.

I liked The Constant Princess. It made me better understand and sympathize with her position when Prince Arthur died.
