Fascinating untangling of English history during what sounds like a very turbulent period.

My husband has lately accused me of having a "girl crush" on Alison Weir. It is true, I suppose. Weir does a great job of taking a very complicated piece of history and making it understandable and enjoyable at the same time. The list of characters seemed to grow exponentially and I have to admit, I had trouble remembering who was who and part of what family and how those families were connected, but thankfully there were a couple of charts in the back of the book to help. Overall, this was a good read- not quite as good as her book on the wives of Henry VIII, but still an engrossing read.
