kdowli01 's review for:
The Lost Tudor Princess: The Life of Lady Margaret Douglas
by Alison Weir
I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
I love this time period, and will read anything related to the Tudors. This was a really interesting look into Margaret Douglas, who is not as well known as many others in the family but still was absolutely vital in the royal family and issues related to succession in England and Scotland.
As with other Alison Weird histories, it is incredibly detailed and written in a way that is mostly easy to follow. It's a really interesting story and helpful to put the Tudor saga in a different context. Given the level of detail that goes into these books, there are parts that drag some. It seems that Margaret and her husband spent much of their lives sick, and each illness is documented in case you were curious! But there is also plenty of intrigue, treasonous plotting, murder, and political angling.
Overall it's a really interesting for those who want to learn as much as possible about the Tudor family line, and have the time to read all the details!
