Historical fiction set in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, when, shortly after her coronation, she is presented with a personal diary kept by her mother, Anne Boleyn, for much of her adult life. It's presented in secret by a lady in waiting who attended Anne while she was Queen as well as for the week leading up to her execution. Anne gave her the diary with a promise that she would pass it to Elizabeth if she ever descended the throne. Very interesting book and hard to put down. I don't pretend to be an Elizabethan scholar by any means, but methinks there were probably a lot of liberties taken with this book. I guess that's why it's called historical FICTION. LOL Anyway, I enjoyed it and will likely read the other two books that compose the trilogy.
