Philippa Gregory is one of my favorite authors, but every book seems to have some paranormal or "magic" element. This book was o.k., but her emphasis on sexual perversion cheapened her as a writer in my eyes. This one is Medieval witchcraft combined with kinkey sex. In all her books she shows how powerless women in times gone by were to the whims of their husbands, their rulers, and the powerful men who made the rules of the era. If sex sells, then she must have made a bundle on this book. Genny
