The Tudor Heritage: The family behind the Virgin Queen
by
I liked this a lot better than Elizabeth, The Witch's Daughter (the book preceding this one) probably because I've read less on Elizabeth's reign than I have of the events leading up to it.
It's another short book covering many years so as before there has to be an awful lot of information left out but this seemed to flow much better. More detail of secondary characters and a good section detailing the sacking of the Spanish Armada. I liked the side story of the Allgraves - now I need to know if they were real or made up to enhance the novel.
It's light on the rumoured love interest with Robert Dudley but for me I'm glad because it's been done to death elsewhere so the focus on friendship is far more interesting.
Interesting to read that these books are being re-issued 40 years after first publication and so were some of the authors earliest works. I'll be checking out some of her other later stuff. Many, many years of reading first books of authors for book clubs it's interesting to read the early works and see the burgeoning talent so I'm keen to read more.
It's a lovely piece of historical fiction and as said I'm going to look out for some more.
