The Queen's Governess

The Queen's Governess, by Karen Harper.

I highly enjoyed this book. It was an interesting peek at what life may have been like in Henry VIII's court and Elizabeth I's early reign, told from not the royal point of view, but from a servant's point of view. I liked the character that Harper developed Kat into, finding her likable, interesting and sympathetic.

I'm now reading The Last Boleyn, the story of Anne's older sister, the Boleyn who dared to break away from the court and marry for love.
