I read The Other Bolyen Girl in high school, which introduced me to the author. This book is great, although fiction Gregory does a wonderful job of mixing in just enough facts to make the book feel like a true glimpse into the life of such a strong female figure, In a time rules by men.

Jacquetta's story is much more interesting than I anticipated.... The Lady Rivers is a character usually untouched by history, especially in a time that is so overshadowed by men and tyrants. Jacquetta is best known as the mother of Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of England and wife to Edward, the first York King. Gregory's books are always fictional, but filled with a slew of facts and even the foresight and alchemy fit well...
