The Creation of Eve by Lynn Cullen

4.0

I waivered between a 3 and a 4....historical fiction (mid 16th century Europe.) Sofonisba Anguissola...a real painter (a woman no less!) who spends a decade or so in the Spanish court. More about the intrigue of court life than Sofi's influence as a painter...fairly accurate relationships amongst the royals and Sofi, based on what I could discover....

However...it really starts to drag late in the book and then slams to a stop. All in all....I enjoyed reading the book. (Many compare this to The Other Boleyn Girl....much less of a 'bodice ripper.')
