Raves and Reviews
"Expect high demand for another outstanding entry in Gregory’s ongoing and best-selling Tudor saga."
– Booklist
"All bow down before the queen of historical fiction."
– The Times
"Gregory’s first-person perspective on late Tudor England’s turbulent history will delight existing and future fans."
– Library Journal, starred review
"True to her style, Philippa Gregory weaves a story that draws readers in and tugs at the heart, featuring characters who defy everyone’s expectations. She clearly loves the Tudor court; every detail is pristine, and the drama is spot on. The sadness is followed by immense happiness, but in the midst of high drama, Gregory doesn’t let you down. She delivers every emotion so subtly that you’ll be crying even before the intensity of the scene hits you. Gregory is at her best in THE LAST TUDOR, a must-read for historical fiction enthusiasts and certainly for her countless fans.”
– Bookreporter.com
"Immaculate research, pacy narratives, and a stubborn insistence that history is not only about men....a powerful reminder of how precarious the lives of Tudor women could be."
– Daily Mail
