Title: An unexpected gem
Review: I was just looking for something to read on a plane and found this gem of a book. Henley's portrayal of Bess of Hardwick is lively and engaging, the kind of book that you can read over and over again (which I do!). Bess' triumphs over multiple trials, her gradual rise in Tudor society to the rank of Countess of Shrewsbury -- not too bad for a farm gal -- is a fun read for anyone with any interest in Tudor England. Is this accurate? Who cares! Few books bring a smile to my face like this one.
