New Book for Review: ‘Biographical Novel’ Elizabeth I by Margaret George

Elizabeth I cover Margaret George is touring in May with her biographical novel, Elizabeth I.

It is 1588, and the showdown between England and Spain has finally come.  Elizabeth and her island kingdom stand alone against the strongest country in Europe.  Yet after that triumph, she cannot rest.  There are many other challenges to her, and the ever-hanging question of the succession to the childless queen.  Surrounded by such larger-than-life characters as Drake, Shakespeare, the Earl of Essex, Raleigh, and Francis Bacon, the queen proves bigger than all of them.

Her cousin and rival, Lettice Knollys, mother of the Earl of Essex and widow of Robert Dudley, who was Elizabeth’s love and soul mate, provides a dark counterpoint to the glittering aura of Elizabeth’s legend. Bound together in a love-hate relationship, the two women pursue their linked destinies.
