The Wise Woman: A Novel | 
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I'm not sure if it's the book or just me.... I feel like I've been reading this for forever. I've not read her before, but I know she's prolific and it sounded right up my alley. But something just isn't gelling and I've heard others say this isn't her best book. I'm about halfway through and it's just ok so far. 😐
I have always seen a lot about this author and haven't ever read her. Picked this up at a yard sale fairly recently over the summer. I haven't read any historical fiction in quite some time. I guess some are telling me it's not a great one of hers to start with, but.... 🤷♀️
pickThis is one of Philippa Gregory‘s lesser known books, and that‘s a shame. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It has an unconventional protagonist and an unconventional ending. Set in Tudor England, this tells the story of Alys, an old lord‘s scribe. Although she‘s the protagonist, Alys can easily be considered evil; she has no problem lying, scheming, seducing, and using the dark arts to get what she wants. This is a unique novel. Highly recommended.
I‘m not a fan either. So I‘m going to trust Mom‘s review and pass it along without reading it. #momreviews @Momreviews
