The Life of Elizabeth I
by Alison Weir
Was there ever any doubt of this being a five star read? Hint: no. This book covered Elizabeth’s nearly 45 year reign in remarkable depth for an overview. There are so many quotes and sources sprinkled liberally throughout that one feels transported to Elizabeth’s court. If anything, my obsession with this Virgin Queen has only deepened, my knowledge added to by this book. It’s well written and well organized. Sometimes it’s hard to be sure what year it is but it’s usually stated fairly frequently. Weir gives a lot of detail in an accessible format.
