As one who enjoys British history I really enjoyed this engrossing work. The world of Scotland in 16th century is brought vividly to life, well researched and finely constracted. I have always been fascinated with Mary, Queen of Scots. She was an interesting character but she had the bad luck to have for a cousin and rival Elisabeth of England, one of historys great winners and the history is written by the winners.
Ms. George tells Marys story with power and emotion. She recreates the time, the dampness and cold and the stench of death. Marys romance, intrigue and the desire for laughter, music, dancing and warmth. She, who was a child at the age of nine month already crowned a Queen, a sinner hailed as a saint, a lover denounced as a whore, a woman murdered for her dreams...
This book is a wonderful introduction to the politics of the reign of Mary. Her constant power struggles with her half brother James and the shifting loyalities of the Scottish nobility. Marys Cattholic beliefs differed from the Protestant beliefs that were ambraced by the Scottish people. A fascinating and instructive treatment on the subject of religious intolerance and the related struggle for power.
This is the third Margaret George book I have read and I have been well pleased with each effort. Do not let the length deter you, while Marys life was short. This is one book that you won't want to put it down.

I greatly enjoyed this book. (I even bought Henry VIII after Mary was such a joy.) But be warned... it's one long book! You'll be in this one for the long haul, but it's worth it. Her history is good, but Ms. George's writing style makes it an easygoing read.

This book is amazing. I love Tudor and Stuart history. All the books I've read had bits and pieces of the story. This book helped me understand most of it and helped me piece it together. Over all, this book is wonderful.

You'll only read the first two sections
Basically, Mary's life breaks down into three sections- her life as a child (spent mostly in France), her life as a young Queen in Scotland, and then her life in exile and... Lesen Sie weiter...

Margaret George makes you feel like you were there!

A compelling version of Mary's life
Despite the length, I could not put this down. I'm surprised to see other reviews putting down Mary as a character! Lesen Sie weiter...

Engrossing
As an Anglophile I was fascinated by the almost uncanny way Ms. George was able to breath new life into these long dead historical figures. Lesen Sie weiter...
