Philippa Gregory writes historical fiction centred on royal courts, dynastic rivalry and the women whose marriages and family connections placed them close to political power. The Other Boleyn Girl follows Mary and Anne Boleyn at the court of Henry VIII, while The Queen's Fool approaches the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I through a fictional young woman attached to the royal household. Gregory's Cousins' War novels move back to the Wars of the Roses, with books such as The White Queen and The Red Queen giving different sides of the conflict their own central figures. Her novels are usually character-led and accessible, combining court politics, marriage, inheritance and succession with a strong narrative pace. They fit Tudor fiction, royal historical fiction and women's historical fiction, alongside writers such as Alison Weir and Elizabeth Chadwick. Read more Less
