	Gregory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory is a common masculine first name and family name.
		The associations with a shepherd who diligently guides his flock is part of the reason that the name has been popular with monks, priests and popes.
		Although the name was uncommon in the early 20th century, after the popularity of the actor Gregory Peck it became one of the ten most common male name in the 1950s and has remained popular since.

	Queen's Fool, The : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		This is particularly clear after reading something as enjoyable as Philippa Gregory's The Queen's Fool, which treats the period and its turbulent sweep with an almost operatic grandeur.
		Gregory recreates this era with tremendous colour, and she makes the court an enticing but danger-fraught place.
		That is emphatically not the case here, and Gregory ensures that all her characters have a full and teeming life.

		Philippa Gregory brings to life one of history's most inspiring women and creates one of the most compelling characters in historical fiction.

	Amazon.com: The Other Boleyn Girl: Books: Philippa Gregory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is only the beginning of the intrigue that Gregory so handily chronicles, capturing beautifully the mingled hate and nearly incestuous love Anne, Mary and George ("kin and enemies all at once") feel for each other and the toll their family's ambition takes on them.
		Gregory's novel opens and closes with two executions -- it begins with the execution of the Duke of Buckingham in 1521, and ends with the execution of Anne Boleyn in 1536.
		Gregory made these characters come alive for me, and made me understand how difficult it was to live as a woman in the early 1500s.

	Other Boleyn Girl, the : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		Everyone knows the fate of Anne Boleyn, but not many know the story of her rise to majesty and the part played by her rival and sister, Mary, who was Henry's mistress and mother to two of his bastard children before the dazzling older Boleyn girl even caught his eye.
		Philippa Gregory, whose own role as the Queen of historical romance grows more secure with each new novel, has surpassed her self with this epic tale of lust, jealousy and betrayal.
		Daily life at court is described in fascinating detail--from the relentless leisure pursuits, masques and banquets laid on for the easily bored King to the complex hierarchies and machinations of the courtiers.

	Wideacre : A Novel \| By - Philippa Gregory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is Gregory's skill as an author showing itself clearly, to make you care about characters that you almost wish you did not.
		Gregory's Wideacre might just pass as legtimate historical fiction rather than a smutty, decadent drama in period costume--but just barely.
		Wideacre is the tale of Beatrice Lacey, daughter to the Squire of Wideacre, a Sussex estate that is described as a Georgian Garden of Eden.

	Fallen Skies by Philippa Gregory Marie McCarthy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Comment: I looked up Philippa Gregory because she had written the foreword to the re-issued version of Katherine, by Anya Seton.
		Given Gregory's comments about historical fiction versus historical romance in the foreword of Katherine and the disdain in which she appears to hold the latter category of fiction, I expected Fallen Skies would be straight historical fiction without any romance conventions.
		Gregory does a great job of portraying just how much power husbands had over their wives in the early part of the last century.

	ISBN 0743227441, The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gregory uses modern language and expressions in her writing, so this novel does not drag a modern reader through a field of Thees and Thous, which IS more historically accurate, but frankly I am not interested in reading a novel that I have to translate.
		Since there is little historical fact known about Mary Boleyn (it isn't even sure when she was born), Philippa Gregory has chosen a protagonist who is involved with interesting actual events, but can be conveniently moulded to fit the form of fiction.
		In this novel Gregory shows the bitter sibling rivalry that is aided by their cruel families in order to raise their status within Henry's court.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory - Paperback
		This is only the beginning of the intrigue that Gregory so handily chronicles, capturing beautifully the mingled hate and nearly incestuous love Anne, Mary and George ("kin and enemies all at once") feel for each other and the toll their family's ambition takes on them.
		Mary, the story's narrator, is the most sympathetic of the siblings, but even she is twisted by the demands of power and status; charming George, an able plotter, finally brings disaster on his own head by falling in love with a male courtier.
		Gregory captures not only the dalliances of court but the panorama of political and religious clashes throughout Europe.

		Gregory, however, paints her as a virtuous girl thrust into the Tudor court by the political ambitions of her family.
		Gregory does not paint a very pretty picture of Anne and at times I felt that Anne was rather two-dimensional, and incapable of any real tenderness.
		This is okay I suppose, but Gregory keeps pounding the point to show the stark differences between Mary THE GOOD, and Anne THE BAD...a little heavy handed, but since Gregory is such a good writer it does not pull you from the story.

	The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory, book reviews, links, book club reading suggestions
		In her latest historical saga Philippa Gregory returns to the court of the Tudors but this time her focus is on Elizabeth Tudor, the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
		Philippa portrays the three main characters as very believable people – none of them without weaknesses and serious shortcomings.
		Certainly it is not difficult to see some links between Amy’s story and the tale of a modern Princess who also found herself involved in a love triangle that ended with her own accidental death.

		Philippa Gregory has succeeded in creating a heroine in the form of Beatrice Lacey, who has so many complex facets to her character, that you don't know whether to loathe her or hate her.
		As with Philippa Gregory's other books, Wildacre is beautifully written and in this instance some of the monologues of main character Beatrice's thoughts were especially gripping and astute.
		I really love Gregory's style of writing, her descriptions are great and her characters vivid but the problem with wideacre is that the main character Beatrice is absolutely hateful.
