The Boleyn Inheritance, by Philippa Gregory
Thanks, everybody! Of the Philippa Gregory novels I've read, this is my favourite by a country mile, chiefly because of Kitty Howard. I can forgive a book a lot if it makes me laugh.

After 'The Other Boleyn Girl', I thought this was the best of PGs novels. I enjoyed reading about two little known, vastly different queens in this tumultuous time. Quick, light, and enjoyable. 3.5/5
(IMHO, her other books were becoming boring as they were too boring and similar. I'm taking a good long break from PG).

I enjoyed this one as well, and is my favorite of hers. I agree you might want to take a break from her. I know I am. After The Other Queen, I just dont think I can stomach another book by her for quite sometime.

Now I am convinced I don't want to attempt The Other Queen for quite a while. I recently finished A Question of Guilt, another book about Mary, so it's not such a good idea to read about her right now.
