Another great read! - Rated
I loved Weir's first novel 'The innocent traitor' so much and I couldn't wait for her next. She didn't let me down, 'The lady Elizabeth' was a wonderful read. It details Elizabeth's life from early childhood all the way up to becoming queen. Weir makes the reader really feel for the situations Elizabeth encounters, from her curiousity about the mother she never knew, the key relationships with the women in her life, her tender love for her family, her time in the tower and under house arrest and her first love. Just some of the elements within this book.
I enjoyed the novel just as much as innocent traitor and couldn't put it down until I had finished. It focuses on her life before she reigned and what made her the queen she was. Not everything is included but it does highlight many points and ponders over theories which can't be proved or completely disproved. By doing this Weir allows us to look at Elizabeth in a less than perfect way, which makes her very likeable and appealing.
I would recommand this book to anyone. It's an interesting, heart warming, tearful, exciting and enjoyable read. The story of Elizabeth is an extremely well known one but Weir manages to tell it in a refreshing and entertaining manner.
entertaining, if overlong account of the young Elizabeth - Rated
Well, this will keep you entertained for a couple of days. Weir provides a carefully researched account of Elizabeth's childhood and young adulthood, up to the moment when she is declared Queen. There are some interesting departures from the known facts, which provide food for thought along the way. The pace is quite slow, but the attention to period detail is well executed. The character of Elizabeth is portrayed as the feisty, intelligent woman her people loved. The book gives a sense throughout of the extremely precarious nature of life at the Tudor Court. Don't expect to read about her long-term affair with Robert Dudley, though, he hardly appears in the book at all.
