I rather enjoyed this book. It was interesting to learn about Henry VIII's sister whom I knew little about. Margret is a strong and determined woman who makes some bad choices base on emotion. The book it self is well writen and easy to get into. I would recomend it to anyone who likes Tudor history.

Well-told tale of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, sent to Scotland at age 12 to marry King James, a handsome devil she soons falls for. James turns out to be handsome, intelligent and charismatic, but not a faithful husband.

Enjoyable story of Margaret Tudor, older sister to Henry VII and wife of James IV of Scotland. I knew little about this woman and Plaidy crafted another engaging story that has me eager to learn more about Margaret.

I have read most of these books by Plaidy and this was my least favorite. It is not a very good story. Marriage, difficult pregnancy, husband cheating, then repeat all of this a few more times. Not a horrible book just not a favorite of mine.

Many of Jean Plaidy's other books are better. The facts were good, but the story was week. Almost like reading a long encycolpedia article.
