Saw someone read this on the bus
Normally very uninterested in post - 1066 British royalty, but this seemed good.

Quite a read it was! I do like the novel itself, though Mary Stuart as a character and historical figure is all contradictory. She evokes the whole range of emotions - one moment you are angry and annoyed by her follies, the next you are already full of compassion to her miserable luck 💔 This is a breathtaking story with conspiracies, betrayals and a bit too much of 'excessive passion'.

When I saw this, I did a happy dance! I adore Stefan Zweig and Maria Stuart is at the top of my to read list. This is a beautiful bound copy from 1958.
