The King's Witch by Tracy Borman

4.0

I enjoyed this quite a bit. It starts at Elizabeth I's death and ends a little after the Gunpowder Plot (Remember, remember the 5th of November), and follows the middle daughter of some fairly-well connected nobles, Frances. because she isn't a well-known mover and shaker, the author is able to fictionalize and fill-in the story without causing the audience to get cranky...I'm looking at you, Philippa Gregory! There were portions of the story that made me want to reach into the book and smack Frances for being naïve, but I guess that's a part of reading a story with a teenaged (I suppose, I don't remember it being specified, but she's unmarried and her uncle has been trying to marry her off.) girl in Ye Olde Times.
