The Kings Mistress - Emma Campion (2009)
You'd think from this picture that this book was tiny, but no - it was huge!! It took me a week to read, but I did have a busy one full of distractions. I did look forward to diving in before I went to sleep though, which is always the sign of a book I've enjoyed.
In the vein of Phillipa Gregory or Miss Chadwick, I thought that the author did a good story about Alice Salisbury and the life that is mapped out for her by the men in her life, including becoming the Kings Mistress. She was engaging and believable and even though the middle of the book was somewhat drawn out I enjoyed this delving into the world of King Edward III and the life at court.
A solid 3/5.
