In the reign of Elizabeth I, Lettice Knollys committed the unforgivable sin of marrying Robert Dudley, the man with whom Elizabeth herself was in love. Banished by a vengeful Queen from all aspects of Court life, Lettice must make a life for herself and those she loves. But Elizabeth's jealousy is endless, and Lettice finds even her own children are endangered by the whim of a Queen for whom no sacrifice is too great on the altar of her beloved England.
Love Story involving the Queen, Robert Dudley and Lattice. You won't be able to put it down once you start. Robert Dudley was a kind, charming, loyal, and trustworthy courtier that women fell in love with, but his heart belonged to Lattice and his loyalty to his Queen. What a wonderful book!
I took every Chance to Read this book. The characters came to life and the descriptions of the clothing and atmosphere at court had me living each day. Queen Elizabeth was portrayed as selfish and heartless but I suppose life had taught her to trust no one
