Title: Charles II and Nell Gwynn
Product review: The final volume of Plaidy's Charles II trilogy introduces us to Nell Gwynn, from her humble beginnings to her capturing the king's eye as a popular actress. But there is plenty of politics and intrigue as well from Charles' other significant mistress, Louise de Kerouille who is in league with the French king to keep Charles on the side of the French and to convert him to Catholicism. Meanwhile Charles' only -albeit illegitimate- son, Monmouth, is jockeying for power and recognition. And Charles' brother and next-in-line refuses to forsake his Catholic belief, despite the violent anti-popish sentiment sweeping the country...Gripping read as with most of Plaidy's books
