Deborah (162 KP) rated England's Queens: From Boudica to Elizabeth of York in Books
Dec 19, 2018
Interesting overview from the early and mythical queens right up to Elizabeth of York.
Overall I enjoyed it, but the later chapters I found disappointing. Probably because my own historical knowledge is stronger there, but I thought the later chapters were a rehash of something from books a few years out of date and a few things were plain wrong (e.g. Elizabeth Woodville did not have a big funeral).

The protagonist of this book is Elizabeth Bennet, one of five daughters of a middle-class family in a little village in England. Her mother’s ultimate goal is to marry off her daughters, but Elizabeth is not in a rush. I really liked Elizabeth in this book, she is a very strong-willed and sensible young lady. I really loved the way Jane Austen picked the characters for this novel, they are very well developed and very intriguing. I think Mr Darcy is an absolute twit, but with a golden heart. If he would exist in reality, I have no idea how a woman would understand this man. HE IS SO FRUSTRATINGLY COMPLICATED
