***Congratulations to Christina Brunetti(#101) on winning (1) copy of The Other Queen***
*** Book Giveaway of One(1) hardcover copy of The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory ***
This dazzling novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory presents a new and unique view of one of history’s most intriguing, romantic, and maddening heroines. Biographers often neglect the captive years of Mary, Queen of Scots, who trusted Queen Elizabeth’s promise of sanctuary when she fled from rebels in Scotland and then found herself imprisoned as the “guest” of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his indomitable wife, Bess of Hardwick.
The newly married couple welcome the doomed queen into their home, certain that serving as her hosts and jailers will bring them an advantage in the cutthroat world of the Elizabethan court. To their horror, they find that the task will bankrupt them, and as their home becomes the epicenter of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, their loyalty to each other and to their sovereign comes into question. If Mary succeeds in seducing the earl into her own web of treachery and treason, or if the great spymaster William Cecil links them to the growing conspiracy to free Mary from her illegal imprisonment, they will all face the headsman.

Not even the TV ‘Soaps’ of today could provide such a bewildering turn of events as those of the UK in Elizabethan times. Only by reading Phillipa Gregory’s book, will I be able to discover and feel the truth of what really happened between Elizabeth and Mary during those intriguing times. This book would give me great pleasure.

Historical fiction is great to read b/c one must use their imagination a lot of the time and it gives you a sense of history!
