Review title: Not what I thought...
Product review: The only other Gregory book I have read was Respectable Trade, which I enjoyed and thought was well written. I chose Wise Woman because of the subject matter, it sounded intriguing. The writing was awful. I mean, the story is supposed to take place in England in the time of Henry VIII. Did they really use expressions like "he was hot for the wench?" It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. I think Philippa Gregory must be one of the more highly overrated writers in the "historical" genre, not really serious. I couldn't finish this book. You know, life is too short. Still looking for a good "Wise Woman" book, though.
