“Spellbinding…Smart, sensual, and as suspenseful as a thriller, Gambit is a must read for Philippa Gregory fans—and heralds a brilliant new player in the court of royal fiction.”
?PEOPLE
". . . Lively, gamey, gripped with tension and within reason. One of the best historical novels I've read. It is Freemantle's first book. I hope it will not be her last.”
?HUFFINGTON POST
“This compulsively readable fictional biography of the ultimate survivor is infused with the type of meticulous attention to historical detailing that discerning fans of Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory have come to expect in the Tudor canon.”
?BOOKLIST
“Sins, secrets and guilt dominate the landscape of British writer Fremantle’s debut…Fremantle’s emphasis is on intrigue, character portraits and the texture of mid-16th-century life. Solid and sympathetic.”
?KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Fremantle details the dangers of 16th-century sexual politics while humanizing powerful women, including Katherine herself; clever, willful Elizabeth; and lonely, suspicious Mary…like Katherine, she navigates Tudor terrain with aplomb.”
?PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Fremantle’s vivid, finely detailed reconstruction of Katherine Parr’s marriage to Henry VIII is a guaranteed best seller [that] fills the void just when historical fiction fans were beginning to feel the dearth of new works.”
