Synopsis
Philippa Gregory (THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL) turns her attention to Mary Queen of Scots in her latest wonderfully realized historical novel. Mary has been sentenced by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, to live confined to the estate of the Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife Bess of Hardwick. These three nobles narrate the plots and power struggles as Mary schemes for 16 years on how to usurp her cousin and claim the throne.

Industry Reviews
"The voices are strong throughout, but Gregory’s ventriloquism is at its best with Bess of Hardwick, a woman who managed to throw off the restrictions of birth, class and sex in order to achieve things that proved beyond her titled husband." (starred review)
