Královské Poklesky. Nemanželské Svazky, Které Otřásly Britskou Monarchií (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I really like reading these kinds of books and this one is no exception. I like that Carroll can admit when she doesn't know something or that it is just spectulation. I think that's important when it comes to history in general. But the book itself is very well structured and I loved the connection throughout history as well as the final line about Mistresses: The more things change, the more they stay the same. This was a fun, light read. The subject, adultery, isn't exactly the funnest i the world, but somehow Carroll made it fun and light. She had a way of pointing out the hypocrasy and the irony in these cases. There was, however, one problem with this book, a historical problem. During the entry of Anne Boleyn Carroll writes: "George (now Viscount Rochford, after the death of their father)". What Carroll obviously isn't aware of is that George dies 3 years before his father, so this is a bit of a mistake to make. But other than that I don't really have anything to out my finger on.

Another book about the affairs of the kings and queens of England. Kind of interesting.
