This is a good story, but the title is a little deceiving. Queen Mary is not excatly the main character of the book. The story is more about a Spanish man she comes in contact with, and his experiences while in England. The queen does make a few appearances in the story, but is not the main subject. Over all it is still a good book with a deep look at the Spanish man's life. I enjoyed it. ****

This book was an interesting perspective on the period of Mary's rule (daughter of Henry VIII & Katherine of Aragon) but the queen is hardly visible until almost the middle of the story. It is more the story of Rafael who comes from Spain with the Queen's Spanish husband's entourage. So I feel the title is misleading. But I enjoyed the read. Not quite as compelling as other historical novels of the period.
