But, I definitely enjoy a look at some of the so-called "minor characters" of the Tudor era and at court. I'll definitely take a look at Emerson's work :) Thanks for the recommendation!!Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-49989573007465247142013-01-26T13:37:09.570-06:002013-01-26T13:37:09.570-06:00I'm a history fanatic even more than a Tudor f...I'm a history fanatic even more than a Tudor fanatic, Susan.

I was also awed and dismayed by the amount of politics and the fate of women as pawns in the political system.

It sounds like you enjoyed the historical aspects of this novel most of all. Life was so hard back then, especially for women. This is the type of book that would make me feel fortunate to be living in a more modern time. Excellent review!

I haven't read much about Margaret, and so I do sort of think of her as a "forgotten queen". It sounds like she was a little bit bratty at times though, and I am not sure how I would react to that. But then again, a lot of queens were bratty...just look at Anne Boleyn!
