Title: Disturbingly biased
Product review: I have read all of Ms. Gregory's books. This one was a shock to my sense of expectation from this normally breathtaking author.Her portrayal of Elizabeth I was rediculously biased and slanted. It was much closer to reading a trashy romance novel than a 'fictional',historical portrayal of a woman such as Elizabeth I.Ms. Gregory did all she could to give readers the sense that Elizabeth was nothing more than a manipulative, weak, immoral and oversexed vixen. I was disappointed in such a depiction. As a successful woman herself, Ms. Gregory was off her game to deliberately portray Elizabeth in such a manner. Perhaps the author's depiction of catty Elizabeth is instead a self portrait? This book would not be suitable enough to be used as kindling in my fireplace.
