This was my 1st audio cd set, and I have never "read" Philippa Gregory before...I thoroughly enjoyed both. I love history and her take on this real moment in time was captured brilliantly. The narrorator speaks in a British accent making the story very enjoyable to listen too since it made it much more believeable for me and easy to get into than I think an American voice would have been. I highly recommend this Audio cd to history (especially Elizabethen (SP?) buffs. Happy Listening :)

The Virgin's Lover is the love story of Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley. I expected the story to focus mainly on Elizabeth but surprisingly it was more about Robert. It gave a very detailed look into the small group of intimates in Elizabeth's life and the hardship she had in the war between being a queen and being a woman.
I really got lost in the story.
