Description
Mary I: Queen of Sorrows by Alison Weir The story of Mary I, a princess with promise and tragedy, is one of drama and heartbreak. Born into the golden splendour of her father's court, Mary's world begins to fall apart as her parents' marriage and England's fate are put in crisis. Exiled from the court and her mother, Mary seeks solace in her faith, praying for her father to bring her home. When the King does promise to restore her to favour, his love comes with a condition. Mary faces a choice that will haunt her for years to come, affecting her allegiances, marriage, and fight for the crown. Alison Weir's new novel is a tale of how a princess with such promise became the infamous Bloody Mary. A deeply moving and profoundly affecting story, Mary I: Queen of Sorrows is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Tudor period.
