The Other Boleyn GirlPhilippa Gregory
The Other Queen
*A stunning new unabridged recording, available on audio download*
A dramatic novel of passion, politics and betrayal from the No.1 bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl.
1568. Mary Queen of Scots, fleeing rebellion in her kingdom, is offered a safe haven by Elizabeth I with George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his indomitable wife, Bess of Hardwick. The arrival of an extravagant queen turns the household upside down, as it becomes clear that the visit is a house arrest.
Queen Mary makes Bess’ hard-won house a centre for unrest and treason, and – perhaps worst of all – Mary Queen of Scots’ fabled beauty starts to work on the Tudor loyalist, Bess’ own husband, George.
The two women fight for their own rights: Mary to regain the crown and the kingdom of Scotland; Bess to win back her husband and houses. A third woman can decide: Elizabeth the First, and nobody knows how far she will go to protect her own safety.
With an exclusive afterword written and read by Philippa Gregory, exploring the inspiration behind The Other Queen.

InformativHäpnadsväckandeTankeväckandeSmartIntressant att få en inblick o engelsk historia. Det känns som författaren är väl insatt i sitt ämne. Uppläsarna var duktig på att ge liv åt karaktärerna. Var lite seg i början men tog sig. Man fick en bra känsla för varför personerna gjorde som de gjorde. Kunde inte så mycket om engelska kungahuset på denna tiden så känner mig mer upplyst efter boken. Intressant inblick i politiken och hur olika personliga motiv kan påverka vår historia.
