Praise for Philppa Gregory:
'Compelling... Philippa Gregory reigns supreme as the mistress of historical drama.' Today
'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
'This is a story of violent love and unsettling passions. It will never let you rest for a page as you wait for the climax that must come for the people and the land'
Maeve Binchy
'Amid all the social upheaval strides Beatrice Lacey, who, for singlemindedness, tempestuousness, passion, amorality, sensuality and plain old-fashioned evil, knocks Scarlet O'Hara into short cotton socks' Evening Standard
'One of Gregory's great strengths as a novelist is her ability to take familiar historical figures and flesh them into living breathing human beings. The Constant Princess is a worthy successor to her previous novels about the Tudors.' Daily Express
'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.' DailyTelegraph
'The contemporary mistress of historical crime fiction is Philippa Gregory. Her novels are filled with strong, determined women who take their fate into their own hands...Gregory brings to life the sights, smells and textures of 16th-century England.' Kate Mosse, Financial Times
