I have mixed feelings about this novel; there were aspects I liked, then at some points, i found it tedious.
The portrayal of James VI/I was interesting, and I agreed with it for the most part. Mahmoud was likeable, and an interesting character.
I just don't really know if i liked this on a whole.

"When I read the last page of this heartbreaking, funny, hopeful novel I went right back to the first page and read the whole book again! A beautiful movie star, a dreamy Italian man, a schlocky producer, an ambitious assistant, a rock star, a wannabe screenwriter, and Richard Burton all come together in the most winning way imaginable."

"Another brilliant adaptation, this time of a Davis Grubb novel (a bestseller). It’s a gothic fairytale of childhood, full of shadows and silhouettes and countless images that linger in your head forever after. I first saw this as a kid, and the stupendously terrifying Robert Mitchum (as a murderous “man of god”) still hasn’t left my haunted unconscious."

"This novel is the queer rom-com of my dreams. The Prince of England falling in love with the son of the US president?? AND the president is a woman?? Yes please. This book is so engaging and fun to read, and just the perfect cozy escapism from everything going on in the world right now."

Loved this even more than Joanna Cannon's first novel The Trouble With Goats and Sheep. Such lovable, endearing characters. A moving, respectful portrait about old age and about what makes us who we are. And a great pageturner with a compelling mystery unfolding through the unreliable narrator Florence with some great twists along the way. A superb read!
