The Queens Fool

 Name of Book: The Queens Fooll
Author: Philippa Gregory
Genre: Set in the 1500s based on truth
What group of people you would recommend this book to:  Probably adult

Blurb:
This particular book revolves around a young lady called Hannah.  She is a Jew admist a country where this religion is despised.  Whilst hiding who she really is, she finds herself begged a fool for the Queen of England.  She is a seer rather than a fool, and has the 'sight', a gift which on very rare occassions allows her to see the truth of a matter.  It tells of the background story of the Fight for the throne between Queen Mary and Princess Elizabeth (who is Anne Boleyns daughter), running along side Hannah the Fool story of her religion, her betrothal to a boy she hardly knows, and finding her own person a world where women have very few choices
Your Review: I enjoyed this book becuase it is part of the Tudor Series written by Philippa Gregory (for other reviews of these series check out my userinfo page) although I didn't find this one AS good as the others.  The Other Boleyn girl is my favourite - this one seemed just a little out of place, yet interestingall the same
Rating: (out of 10) 7
