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

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.

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.
