Depending on the historical texture and type of prose, I might actually be interested in this, especially since the principal character appears to be an original creation (as opposed to yet another incarnation of the same, known historical figures), which gives plot and story a lot more leeway. I will look for an excerpt. Thank you for the review, and sorry for not commenting earlier!Daniellehttp://romanticarmchairtraveller.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-73522688889179003152011-10-01T10:06:19.509-05:002011-10-01T10:06:19.509-05:00I've been seeing this one around the blogs and...I've been seeing this one around the blogs and it definitely sounds like an interesting take on a familiar series.

One of my favorite BBC series was ELIZABETH R starring Glenda Jackson who made a great Queen. Have you seen this series, Joanne? If not, I recommend it highly.<br /><br />This books sounds like the sort of thing that would interest me when I get into one of my historical fiction modes. <br /><br />Great review.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-52581252273362240302011-09-21T13:41:54.602-05:002011-09-21T13:41:54.602-05:00what a great review- this sounds like a great book...what a great review- this sounds like a great book and I definitely want to get my hands on it!!
