About Philippa Gregory

English born author, Philippa Gregory, received her degree in History from the University of Sussex, followed by a PhD in 18th century literature from the University of Edinburgh. Along the journey of her education, she discovered that she had an uncommon interest in the Tudor period. Using her history background, she first wrote The Other Boleyn Girl, which to her credit, was made into a TV drama, and followed by a major film.

Gregory has put much of her effort and personal money into a 20 year old charity that she founded. It is Gardens for The Gambria, that teaches school children to plant market gardens which are irrigated by the almost 200 wells that the author has funded. She is also a patron of The UK Chagos Support Association, a displaced people in the Indian Ocean.

Gregory was selected as the 2008 Edinburgh University Alumna of the Year. She lives with her family on a small farm in Yorkshire.

Goodreads review by Tania on October 31, 2025

This is my 22nd Philippa Gregory novel, so I think it’s safe to say I’m a bit of a fangirl of her Plantagenet and Tudor series. This one did not disappoint — as always, I love how she makes history feel so vivid and alive. Honestly, King Henry VIII’s reign proves that truth really is stranger than f......more

Goodreads review by Anne on September 11, 2025

I love her books usually but I didn’t feel this book added much to the story of Lady Rochford I already knew, especially for such a long book.
