A review by rachachase1702
The Girl in the Glass Tower by Elizabeth Fremantle
3.0
"But don't you be fooled by love. You are destined for greater things."
It was thanks to this book that I was first introduced to Arbella Stuart, someone who has longed for freedom for the majority of her life. However she finds herself a candidate to be the successor of Elizabeth I, along with her cousin James VI of Scotland, and so is kept hidden away to keep her safe.
Several years into the future we find Aemilia (Ami) Lanyer. She longs for one thing - forgiveness - forgiveness for something she did to the Lady Arbella...
I found this book very interesting and entertaining mainly due to the fact that, as mentioned, I'd never read or even heard of Arbella Stuart. I felt that writing in first-person helped the reader understand more of what Arbella was going through and why she did the things she did.
This is the first book I've read by Freemantle and I would definitely like to see what else she has to offer.
