A dramatic recreation of the lives of two of the most famous women in history, Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I. It is 1560, and the newly crowned Elizabeth I is about to become romantically involved with Robert Dudley when an old woman appears bearing a diary written in the hand of the young queen's mother, Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth has grown up knowing nothing of her notorious mother but what official history put forth: that she was an adulterer and traitor and deserved to die. Now, reading her mother's diary, she learns the truth. She learns of the unstable King Henry VIII, the pious Queen Catherine, scheming Cardinal Wolsey, high-minded Thomas More and much, much more...

This one was good. I spent a lot of time while reading it, comparing it to Philippa Gregory's “The Other Boleyn Girl”. It does make you wonder “What if” and could this explain why Elizabeth never married.
