Tried very hard to get through this book but didn't happen. I was really looking forward to this one as I am a big fan of Tudor history. However, after reading 170 pages I had to make a decision wether or not I was going to finish it. The reading was slow and the story plodded along like a cow through a muddy pasture. I'm sure that Elizabeth had a very interesting and eventful like but this book (at least what I read of it) didn't do it justice. So, I guess I will just put this one back on the shelf and maybe someday pick it up and give it another try. Was a little hard to get into at first. The structure of going back and forth between Lettice Knollys and Elizabeth added to the disjointed beginning. I didn't know why I should care about Lettice, so I was impatient. After getting through the first quarter, I put the book aside for a few months, then picked it up again. I got completely hooked on the story, even Lettice's part. Found the last 3/4 quite gripping and galloped through it.
Loved this book. Didn't realize I had others of hers on my want to read list.
