Helpful Score: 1

I've read a couple of other books by this author. They were fairly good, but this one is my favorite. It is historical fiction at it's best. The main character (Hannah) is fictional, but the rest of the story sticks very closely to the truth. It is a slightly different take, than the usual, on the relatioship between Queen Mary & Princess Elizabeth. I won't say more on that because I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone. It is certainly as valid a perspective as any others that I've read, just looks at them from a different light.

I loved the character of Hannah. I particularly liked Gregory giving her the "gift of sight." She used it minimally, but it added a nice touch to the story. There are also several threads going on in the book so that it included a little "coming of age," romance,suspence & several mysteries. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys well-written historical fiction.
