Philippa Gregory is the bestselling historical fiction who, amongst other things, has been bringing the Tudor period back to life; through the eyes of the women oft forgotten by the textbooks.

In her latest book, The Boleyn Traitor, Philippa tells the story of how Jane Boleyn 鈥媠urvived watching from the shadows of the Tudor court, using the only weapon she has; her voice.

If you鈥檙e listening to this in a half-snooze state...you won鈥檛 be for much longer, because Philippa's first choices are stirring stuff indeed.
