Summary

Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. Royal Tudor blood ran in her veins. Her mother was a Queen, her father an Earl, and she herself was the granddaughter, niece, cousin and grandmother of monarchs.

Beautiful and tempestuous, she created scandal not just once but twice by falling in love with unsuitable men. Fortunately the marriage arranged for her turned into a love match.

Critic reviews

"Alison Weir is one of our best popular historians and one, moreover, with an impressive scholarly pedigree in Tudor history." ( Independent)
"[Weir] has a good eye for period detail – and her re-creation of the late 15th century domestic and ceremonial world is terrific." ( Sunday Time)

Not one of Alison Weir’s better books.

The subject matter ie Margaret Lennox is good. She was an interesting character with an incredible pedigree and high powered contacts. The poetry of the time is a key component in our subject‘s life but in this book it becomes boring. The continual translation of the value of the money is repetitious and irritating. Somehow this woman seems 2 dimensional and never comes alive in the pages of this book. I was left wondering what she had that made people like her so much. Most people who upset Henry VIII or his daughter didn’t last long but Margaret Lennox blotted her copybook time and again. Why did people like Cecil help her in an age where self interest was rife.

Ok

I like this sort of book and Maggie Mash was as good as usual. lost interest a bit as so much is about the letters wrote which flattens the story.

Loved it

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. its clearly a labour of love and is well written and researched. Maggie Mash is one of my favourite narrators with a lovely soothing voice.

Not bad

The book wasn’t bad but I have to say not very exciting either. The only reason I managed to finish was because the narrator was very good

Disappointing

I found the narration and the dramatisation disappointing it was more of caricature than character and for me detracted from the book.
I would’ve returned it early on but I was very interested in the history from this point of view and wasn’t disappointed in that.
Of course others may be quite happy with the way it was characterised but I would suggest they listen to the sample first.

good but

Really annoying that the reader keeps doing pseudo accents for quotes from some of the main figures.
