From Publishers Weekly

The author of the Wideacre trilogy presents a historical romance about a 16th-century English witch.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

This new novel by the author of Wideacre (S. & S., 1987) and other popular historical fiction profiles a woman versed in charms, conjuring, and fortune-telling who nonetheless falls into catastrophic misfortunes time after time. Escaping from an English convent, young Alys learns the arts of healing and magic from the "wise woman" who takes her in. Her struggle to find an independent life takes her among an array of characters, including a mediocre lover, a sickly old man still very much in control of the lives around him, and two challenging women: Marach and Mother Hildebrande. Gregory weaves a vivid tapestry of life in the 16th century, including plenty of sex, as the narrative strains toward a not-unexpected end.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Page turner every step of the way, Aoû 9 2005
Par Chandra (Kansas City) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Wise Woman (Paperback)
While this book is not like her other historical fictions, it is still one of the best books I have read in a long time. I loved it so much I bought one for my Mom, Aunt and best friend, all of them also loved it. This book is a little twisted, but in a very real way. You can completely relate with the main character as she makes one bad decision after another that leads her down a trail of witchcraft, seduction, betrayal and deciept... The historical information is there but more importantly and more outstanding is the fantastic tale that is woven from the day a little girl takes her first steps alone all the way to the final leap as she realizes what is truely important... I don't understand why those other two reviews were so bad. If you like Anne Rice or Wilbur Smith's writing you'll love this. All the great story writing of both without the overly boring descriptives that can drag on in Rice's work or the lack there of in Smith's.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not appropriate content for a young teen., Juil 30 2009
This review is from: The Wise Woman: A Novel (Paperback)
The main character is 16 years old but don't let that fool you. Half way through the book you come to realize this book is not what you thought it was and totally inappropriate for a young teen (although many of today's teens would not be shocked or surprised by the content). All that being said, I did enjoy reading it for the smut that it is. Don't expect to be wowed by inspirational passages and deep characters. It's just a quick read with a little bit of graphic sex thrown in.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Unpleasant and disappointing, Mai 25 2009
Par P. Cousins (Windsor, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wise Woman: A Novel (Paperback)
After reading all of Philippa Gregory's Tudor novels and becoming addicted to her stories and her style, I expected to enjoy The Wise Woman. I started the book wanting to like the main character and kept reading in the hope that she would come to some type of redemption - alright, I guess you could make a point of saying that the very end of the book was a redemption of sorts, but what an unsatisfactory one! So much could have been done with this character. What I discovered was a book that became increasingly difficult to read. There are aspects of this book that are just downright nasty. There are times when Gregory seems to be pushing things to see just how much she can "gross out" her readers with details that are just unnecessary. With intrigue, history, religion, superstition, and sex, this book could have been an beguilingly good read. I did finish it but was quite happy to be done, an experience unlike that with other Gregory novels. Hugely disappointing and definitely not recommended.
