Helpful Score: 3
This was truly an enjoyable book. I'm quite fond of historical fiction and this book didn't disappoint me.
While this book is a fictionalised account of England's George IV and Maria Fitzherbert, it is based in some fact. Haeger has created a plausible and engaging story about the woman who would never be Queen simply because she was Roman Catholic and therefore her marriage to the Prince of Wales could not be publicly revealed.
Although I'm quite a fan of the British monarchy I'd never heard of this story before. My wish list at Amazon has suddenly gotten much longer with historical/biographical books about Maria Fitzherbert.
