A fictional portrait of the early years of the reign of Elizabeth I follows the young queen as she copes with intrigues aimed at placing Mary, Queen of Scots, on the British throne, and her passion for the traitorous Robert Dudley. |
Annotation:
Philippa Gregory's historical novels concentrate on the Tudor period in England, and in this gripping installment she goes directly to the heart of the era: the beautiful Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. It's 1558, and the 25-year-old queen is trying to consolidate her power, which is threatened by her Scots cousin, Mary. At the same time, she is involved in a passionate relationship with Sir Robert Dudley, who unfortunately already has a wife. Gregory's painstaking research combines with true novelistic flair to tell a fascinating story of love and royalty--with a murder mystery thrown in as well.
