2.0

This was my first Philippa Gregory novel and I really wanted more from it. It felt too long and I couldn't root for the characters by the end of the novel. Poor Alinor just can't catch a break. By the end, I was really struggling with Alinor's saintly attitude, her daughter as a person, and the romance overall. I will not be reading the second in the series.
