Imaginative and stunning, well researched novel that lets you live the life of Queen Mary the First as that invisible observer that it should. Historical fiction is not meant to be a textbook, Leah Toole does an ASTONISHING job weaving the historic fact and the fiction you want to slide into to escape your reality and into a very different time.
Queen Mary’s life was shaped by her experiences and influences, and the different shifts and tides in religion with Henry’s court. Her mother left her with staunch, deep Catholicism of her family, her father made her a both a pawn for England and his mercurial emotions.
This never deviated for Mary’s life, long after her parents were gone, her life was still was ruled but advisors, fate and religion.
History readers and the history curious, grab a copy and see the full ,robust story of the children and reign of Henry the 8.
Tudor fans, this should be on your NOW READING, get a treat and your imagination whisk you in Leah Toole’s immersive and richly developed world of Queen Mary the First
Long live Queen Mary
