Last Tudor (Gregory) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Gregory's deep knowledge of the period shows…the story of how proximity to power brought tragedy to the three young women is worth telling again. This is a compelling and convincing interpretation.
Times (UK)


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 (UK)


Master of historical fiction Philippa Gregory returns this summer with another installment in her titillating The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels collection. In The Last Tudor, readers get to know Lady Jane Grey — England's queen for only nine days, but their martyr for all of history — and her two sisters, Katherine and Mary, all of whom buck expectations and defy orders in order to shape their own destinies during the Tudor dynasty rule. Poised to be another outstanding addition to the best-selling saga, this late-summer release is worth waiting for.
Bustle


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 delivers every emotion so subtly that you’ll be crying even before the intensity of the scene hits you. Gregory is at her best.

Gregory’s multivolume chronicle of the Tudor dynasty, with its emphasis on the women, now turns to the ill-fated scholar and Protestant reformer Jane Grey and her two sisters, Katherine and Mary, grandnieces of Henry VIII.
