Book Reviews of The Queen's Fool : A Novel
Book Review: A Must Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a real attention grabber. I couldn't put it down once I started it. You learn a lot about Mary and more about Elizabeth. Hannah the fool was actually a real fixture in this time. I'm not how major a role she played in the history of this family but other books mention her and she did affect other important people's lives in this time. It's got scandal and tragedy. I recommend it!
Summary of The Queen's Fool : A Novel
A stunning novel set in the Tudor court, as the rivalry between Queen Mary and her half-sister Elizabeth is played out against a background of betrayal, conflict and passion. The savage rivalry of the daughters of Henry VIII, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth, mirrors that of their mothers, Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Each will fight by any available means for the crown and future of the kingdom. Elizabeth's bitter struggle to claim the throne she believes is hers by right, and the man she desires almost more than her crown, is watched by her 'fool': a girl who has been forced to leave her homeland of Spain, as a Jew fleeing the Inquisition. In a court where truth is wittily denied and lies are mere games, it is the fool who can speak plainly: in these dangerous times, a woman must choose between ambition and love. Elizabeth will not make the same mistakes as her mother.Historical Books
