As in"The Other Boleyn Girl", Philippa Gregory's attention to detail has captured perfectly the essence of Queen Elizabeth's England. The story follows the years of Queen Mary of Scots imprisonment at the home of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his wife, Bess of Hardwick. You'll witness Mary's courageous and cunning attempts to escape, and her ability to entrance any man who sees her. She comes between George and Bess to the unltimate doom of their marriage. This story is full of lies, treachery and treason during the most terrible years of Elizabeth's reign.
