Book Description
Elizabeth I has acceded to the throne of England, a position she has waited and schemed for all her life. She is surrounded by advisers, all convinced that a young woman cannot form political judgements. Elizabeth feels that she can rely on just one man: her oldest friend, Robert Dudley. It is soon plain that he is more than merely a friend. In a house in the countryside waits a very different woman, Amy Robsart – Robert’s wife. She has no taste for life at court and longs for the day when her husband will return home. She has loved him since she was a girl, but now they are adults she hardly sees him. Meanwhile, the pressure grows for Elizabeth to marry, for it is unthinkable that a queen should rule on her own. Elizabeth’s preference is clear, but he is unavailable. But what if the unthinkable were to happen… Philippa Gregory blends passion, personalities and politics in this stunning novel of the Tudor court and a country divided.
About the Author
Philippa Gregory is a rare type of novelist. Her writing is pacy, compelling and passionate, and she enjoys outstanding success in the field of popular historical fiction, with such bestsellers as 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and 'The Queen's Fool'.
Her book 'A Respectable Trade', set in 18th-century Bristol, is a haunting novel of slave trading and its terrible human cost, of forbidden love and betrayal. She adapted it for a highly acclaimed BBC television production.
'The Other Boleyn Girl' was recently adapted for the BBC in a revolutionary new method of filming historical drama. It received widespread attention, to such an extent that more are planned.
Philippa Gregory holds a doctorate from Edinburgh University for her research into 18th-century literature. Her knowledge of and enthusiasm for this period led her to write the bestselling Lacey trilogy - 'Wideacre', 'The Favoured Child' and 'Meridon'.
This was followed by 'The Wise Woman', a dazzling, disturbing novel of dark powers and desires set against the rich tapestry of the Reformation.
Philippa makes regular contributions to newspapers and magazines, with short stories, features and reviews. A frequent broadcaster, Philippa is a team captain on 'The Heritage Quiz' for BBC Radio 4 and is the Tudor expert for Channel 4's 'Time Team'.
