Title: DID NOT FINISH IT - NOT A GOOD READ
Review: I love historical fiction like so many of us and was really looking forward to reading about a time and king that I knew little about. But this book turned out to be a thinly veiled, poorly written attempt to put sad, ineffectual characters in some kind of good light - it seemed the author worked way to hard to make Hugh's wife seem like not such an idiot and while I have no qualms about homesexuality, there was so much in the first part of the book it made me not want to continue. None of the characters were believable or endearing which made the history in the book uninteresting. I sure hope there was never a female really as blindly stupid as Hugh's wife. I was very sad, I so wanted to like this one.
