Virtual Author Talk: Philippa Gregory

Join us for an evening with Philippa Gregory, the acclaimed “queen of British historical fiction,” as she returns to the Tudor Court in her forthcoming novel Boleyn Traitor (publish date on October 14, 2025). In this gripping tale, Jane Boleyn navigates a world where secrets are currency and survival demands cunning, loyalty, and silence. As sister-in-law to Anne Boleyn and a witness to the court’s ruthless ambition, Jane must master the art of deception to protect herself from a fate as brutal as those around her.

Gregory’s latest work blends fresh historical insight with her signature lyrical storytelling, offering a powerful reflection on resilience in uncertain times. Boleyn Traitor is both a riveting historical narrative and a timely exploration of survival, making it a must-read this fall. Don’t miss this compelling conversation with one of historical fiction’s most celebrated voices.
