The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir
4.0

I love Alison Weir books, but I had to give this 4 stars. Not because of her writing, but because of Elizabeth's personality of going back and forth. It drove me nuts quite a bit. She was an amazing queen and one hell of a lady who knew how to get her way, but this book has made me understand why she drove some of the men in her court mad! Yet being a lady of that time she used her wits, good looks, and her mothers flirtatiousness and her fathers temper to give her country the golden age it longed for.
