The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau
5.0
I read The Crown after having read the second in the series. I wish I had realized this was a series and started at the beginning as book two would have made more sense.
This novel is based in a time of religious upheaval and turmoil in England. I find it fascinating that the main character is female when the time so focused on the men AND that this character is on the periphery of the royal family AND she is a nun. This is a complex story with many characters so it took me a bit to get the names straight. The level of historical detail is also excellent.
I really can't recommend this enough if you enjoy English historical fiction.
