I appreciate any work about Elizabeth that informs us about more than just her love life and struggle to stay on the throne. She was also a great queen in how she ran the country. The author does spend time on the less perfect parts of Elizabeth's personality, her vanity and cheapness. Very interesting. ( )Pikced it up after watching the PBS/BBC series. The PBS series was better in the first half, but the book was better in the second. meh. The well told story of a woman who became great merely by trying to survive. no reviews | add a review
