England rejoices when Princess Elizabeth ascends the throne after the death of her sister, Queen Mary because her crowning marks the end of an era of religious repression and the beginning of a new spirit of freedom. A novel based on the screenplay of the movie by the same name.
Very entertaining, if you're not looking for historical accuracy! It compresses the events of many, many years of Elizabeth's reign into a few months. Interesting characters with interesting twists on their doings. Enjoyable.
