I usually really enjoy historical fiction: it gives me the opportunity to actually learn something while also enjoying a great story.

Of course, after the St.Bartholomew’s massacre, my sympathy vanished, but she is a fascinating, historical character nevertheless.

I honestly can’t imagine that any book about her life would be dull reading.

Uhg.

Might have to give it a go! Great review.

I have had it on my wish list since I heard it was coming out, and now I am eager to grab a copy. I am loving most of the historical fiction that I have been reading lately, and I know this book will be no exception. Great review!
