Good historical non-fiction. Especially for those who like details and want to measure the truth for themselves.
Thought it was excellent. Even though non-fiction, very readable.
This is a detailed and passionate bigography of Scotlands tragic Queen Mary. Not only Queen of Scotland but mother of James VI of Scotland who became James I of Great Britain.
Antonia Frasier is at her best in this book.

A caveat: It's enormous. Order at your own risk. :)
"She was the quintessential queen: statuesque, regal, dazzlingly beautiful. Her royal birth gave her claims to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French Dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head.

If this were a novel, I would never believe it, but it all really happened.

I was very interested in the subject. I did a book freport on this book in a club I belong to.
This book is written like a novel and very well researched. Nothing in her life is left out. Excellent
