Title: A Disappointing Read
Review: I am quite distressed about the portrayal of Queen Elizabeth the First in this novel. Yes, she is a fallable human being like the rest of us. But as an amateur British historian, I cannot believe that she could have been nearly as shallow and self centered as this book shows her to be. Every history I have ever read regarding her reign portrayed her to be a remarkable, strong woman, whose dedication to her country and it's best interests was always paramount. I found I had to force myself to finish the book.However, I was intrigued by the theory of the true nature of Lady Dudley's demise. It seems plausable and and worthy of the statecraft of William Cecil.
