[quote=""Divia""]I'm intersted to read your review as well. Personally I can't believe someone hasnt written a book about Katherine Grey. How interesting her life was! Instead we get the same old Elizabeth stories!

You do know this is nonfiction right? Just checking!

There is a nonfiction book about Katherine and her husband, "Two Tudor Portraits - Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey & Lady Katherine Grey" by Hester Chapman, you can find it relatively cheap.

I've just finished Leanda's 'The Sisters Who Would Be Queen.' Reviews aren't allowed until publication day (26th January) but I loved it!!!!

Really?! Guess I'll really have to take notes and write the review now and save it for later, bummer!

Thanks for the welcome from both of you!

Sonja, there was a slip from the publisher in my copy of the book saying reviews shouldn't be published before publication of the book. You could always check with Leanda?

SM and anyone else interested!

The book is being discussed by Phd Historian at the Tudorhistory.org Q&A blog.

Leanda was kind enough to answer my questions about her book and the interview is at my site.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it! I thought her reasons for including the Teerlinc miniature were very interesting.

I thought it sounded so interesting that I went ahead and ordered it from the UK. Merry Christmas to me!
