A review by almostg
Young Bess by Margaret Irwin

5.0

Just brilliant. Irwin makes wonderfully vivid characters out of the historical figures who feature less often in fiction about the Tudors: Henry Seymour, John Dudley and Edward VI's companion Barnarby stood out. Full of cinematic and emotional scenes I won't forget. (I had to sit down and cry at the scene with the ships on the river, going out to Russia...You'll see.)
