Product Description
Review
'The plot is fast-moving, the story is fresh, and it culminates in a dramatic Armada moment. It is as if Henry VIII, Mary and Elizabeth were combined into one character and unleashed for the first time; so much more fun than the other Boleyn book.' --Independent
Book Description
A thrilling, action-packed debut novel about one of history's forgotten queens

Format:Paperback
Meg Clothier writes beautifully and with the ability to capture you at the very first page. I read The Girl King in two sittings, it has been a long time since my children and their appetites have been left wanting while I sit utterly engrossed in a novel! I enjoyed this book so much, the love story that weaves through it is heartwarming without being sentimental yet still managed to bring tears to my eyes on more than one occasion! You can't help but be drawn so completely into the story that you feel all the anguish and pain, excitement, betrayal and even the thrill of battle. Her writing is so expressive conjuring pictures in your mind that take you on Tamar's journey from beginning to end, I have already watched the film of this book in my head what a thrill it would be to see it on the big screen, we can only hope! I very much look forward to reading more of her work.

Meg Clothier writes in a beautiful way, and it really does captivate you from the first paragraph. At the end of each chapter you find yourself saying 'just one more chapter' and before you know it you have read 10 more than you had planned!
Based on historical facts and turned into a fantastic tale of love, war and betrayal. I felt poignant when I realised that I had read the last word. A brilliant way of finding out more about 12th century Georgian history.
A truly amazing read, and I fully recommend it to all! From historians to somebody who enjoys a good book!! A stunning first book, and I agree that it would make an amazing film.
Hope to see more from this author in the future, and if this happens then I know I will be more than willing to purchase it and experience this beautiful style of writing once more.

The Girl King is an absolute delight, an incredible read that I urge everyone to buy and enjoy. It is without doubt the best book i've read in a long, long while and perhaps ever. As a sleep deprived mother with a toddler and small baby it takes alot to get me to read these days but i was absolutely gripped from page 1 of this book and simply couldn't put it down till the climactic end. The author's expressive writing creates such theatre of the mind that you are totally caught up in the world of 11th Century Georgia - you can see, hear, feel and almost smell everything that's going on - it's all consuming. The plot is rivoting - a roller coaster of battles, romance, friendship, honour, betrayal - all written in such a compelling and explosive way that you yearn for more. The book is also based on a true story so you are learning about history in the most exciting way. Meg Clothier has a real talent and i am already on the look out for her next novel - may it come soon. And can somebody please make The Girl King into a film.

The Girl King... Rules!
Loved it! Absolute page-turning rip-snorting romance that feels like a fantasy novel sans dragons but is actually based on real history. Can't wait for her next one, and surely... Read more
