"This book is historically interesting but a painful read.  It's all in first person from the perspective of an evil, conceited, jealous, conniving, two-faced, power hungry, zealot of a woman.  I don't need my main characters to be perfect human beings, in fact a few flaws makes a character more interesting - but Margaret Beaufort has pretty much zero redeeming human qualities, and reading the world through her eyes was horribly depressing and bleak. I seriously can't believe I actually finished this book.  It was ugly. The only redeeming points of the novel for me were the well researched and vibrant descriptions of life in that time period."
