Mistress of Mourning
by Karen Harper (Goodreads Author)
by Karen Harper (Goodreads Author)
Varina Westcott, a young and beautiful candle maker, is called by Queen Elizabeth of York to carve effigies of her dead child and her two brothers.
Told in first person from the POV of Varina and Elizabeth.
How a commoner like Varina is asked/involved in solving the mystery of the Princes in the Tower, and the possible poisoning of Prince Arthur, is a little/lot far fetched.
Of course Varina has help from a handsome protege of the Queen's, and they fall in love.
An interesting but light tale set in the early Tudor era.
Not of the caliber of Hilary Mantel's Tudor Books or even Phillipa Gregory.
"Historical Fiction Light"
