That didn't prevent me from reading it a second time, though :) I loved The Thirteenth Tale, and envy those about to read it for the first time!

I'll keep my eyes open for it. I am chastened to say that I have never read "The Other Boleyn Girl." I read Philippa Gregory's early work (Wideacre etc.) and found it impresive but too bleak for me. Maybe I should try her more recent stuff. “Bathory” sounds good. I’ll keep my eyes open for it.

It's a tale of the real-life Elizabeth Bathory from Hungary in the Middle Ages. Excellent read, and includes a map, ancestral chart and pretty good reading list at the end for us history fans. Another I just finished reading is "The Other Boleyn Girl" (have you seen the movie? It's not nearly as good as the book!).

I was underwhelmed --- as a kind of junky, genre novel it was just fine, but I know it had pretensions to literary fiction that, for me, were not met. I'd love to hear what you thought when you're done. The 13th Tale will not disappoint. I read The Historian last year.
