Description
A sumptuous historical novel set in the court of Elizabeth I, Philippa Gregory's The Virgin's Lover is a gripping tale of power, politics and romance. After years of waiting, Princess Elizabeth ascends to the throne, but the country is divided and the court remains a treacherous place. Many believe that Elizabeth must marry to survive, and Robert Dudley quickly positions himself as her favourite. Dudley's powerful lineage and influence make him a formidable opponent, but he also has many enemies, including William Cecil, the queen's most trusted advisor. As powerful families vie for stakes in the emerging kingdom, Elizabeth must secure her own future and navigate the treacherous waters of court politics. With its richly detailed setting and complex characters, The Virgin's Lover is a compelling read for anyone interested in the Tudor period.
