Entertainment Weekly wrote, "History doesn't come any more fascinating -- or lurid -- than the wife-felling reign of Henry VIII". Robin Maxwell re-creates this chapter in history to perfection in an exuberant and bawdy novel of lust, betrayal, love and murder.
Expand description
When the young Queen Elizabeth I is given her mother's diary, she discovers the truth about her lascivious and despotic father, Henry VIII -- and vows never to relinquish control to any man.
"This is a wonderfully juicy historical novel, so convincing that it's difficult to believe it is the author's first...Painting vicious court intrigue, national and international politics, and the role of the Reformation, Maxwell brings not only the two queens but all of bloody Tudor England to life". -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"An energetic, full-dress period novel... should appeal to all fanciers of imagined portraits of Tudor-era heroines". -- Kirkus Reviews
