A stunning novel set in the Tudor court, from the Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Philippa Gregory.

1553. Hannah Green, the young daughter of a Jewish bookseller, is forced out of Spain by the Inquisition, and becomes an unlikely player at the fractious Tudor Court.

Her gifts of foresight mean that she is given as a Holy Fool to the newly crowned Mary I. But as Mary’s grip on the throne loosens, threatened by the ambitions of her sister, Elizabeth, Hannah is trapped in the deadly rivalry between the daughters of Henry VIII.

As a secret Jew and unwitting spy in the struggle between a Catholic queen and a Protestant princess, Hannah must hide her own identity. And as a girl watching a passionate queen and her cold-hearted sister, Hannah must learn how to be a woman.

With an exclusive afterword written and read by Philippa Gregory, exploring the inspiration behind Hannah Green’s story.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Praise for Philppa Gregory:
‘Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing’ Daily Mail
‘Gregory is great at conjuring a Tudor film-set of gorgeous gowns and golden-lattered dining. She invokes some swoonsome images…while the politics are personal enough to remain pertinent’ Daily Telegraph
‘Subtle and exciting’ Daily Express
‘Written from instinct, not out of calculation, and it shows’
Peter Ackroyd, The Times
‘For sheer pace and percussive drama it will take a lot of beating’ Sunday Times

Really enjoyed this book, and Phillipa Gregory gives a great understanding of a woman in her time with the complications of religion and faith and of love and ambition. Sorry to get to the end of the book and look g forward to the next one in the series.

Addictive

I absolutely adore this book, it’s the second time I’ve purchased it - first time years ago back when audio books weren’t a thing and now I’m revisiting all of the Tudor Court books because I have never enjoyed a series like them. I love the character of Hannah, giving a history of the Jewish community in Tudor England and giving the idea we have of both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth more of a rounded overview. You absolutely fall in love with Robert Dudley and feel completely immersed in the Court once again. Would highly recommend anyone to discover this beautiful novel.
