Definitely a historical novel not to
miss.
Mary Stuart, cousin of Elizabeth I, wife
of several heartless and childish men, beautiful and tall, and Queen of
Scotland, was a naive and gracious queen.
The last years of her life ended for a questionable reason. The story retells Queen Mary’s turbulence in
the1560’s.
Her sincerity and kindness to all, even
the traitorous, held her in a constant position to be attacked by her
enemies. She loved the men she married
and some were her enemy.
Too bad these men didn’t have better
ideals for their queen and wife. The
last two husbands were her downfall.
While married to Henry Darnley, he was
killed. Mary could not believe her next
husband, Bothwell, may have set her up as the murderer.
Back to present day 1587 where Janet de
Ros, wife of a wealthy merchant, cannot hold back her interest in Queen Mary’s
true story.
Janet doesn’t believe Queen Mary killed
her husband, Darnley, nor is she certain that Queen Mary plotted against
England’s queen, Elizabeth I.
Against her husband’s wishes, Janet
continually meets with restricted people who may have a clue to the truth about
Queen Mary. Janet’s inquiries leave her
and her husband in danger of resurrecting the past and possible family
connection to the treachery, which could lead to problems of their own.
Julianne
Lee chose a
spectacular route to study all the stories and rumors about the end of Queen
Mary’s life and who’s to blame. Love can
lead to a dangerous path, and sometimes history should be left alone.
Happy
reading,
Dawn
