There's a very good book about her that was published recently (so to speak). Written by Stella Tillyard -- author of Aristocrats -- A Royal Affair: George III and his Troublesome Siblings is pretty good, and very insightful for the time and place. Here's the review I scribbled up over at Epinions if anyone wants to read it:

I picked up a bio of Lucrezia Borgia (hardback) - $20.00
HF - "Rivals for the Crown" and "Revenge of the Rose" - both PB & $5.00 each
And to think - all I went out shopping for was a new pair of boots (which I also got - for half price!).

Thanks Nona!
I was originally going to get it through my book club but kept it on my "wish list" as other books kept coming up. Glad I waited - saved over $25!

didn't buy aynthing as of yet but I just realized I had a current libaray card so I requested the Other Queen, The Love Knot, Shadows and Strongholds and Shields of Pride. Woohoo! I feel like I won the lottery I thought it would take forever before I would get to read the three Chadwicks, course I'll read them now and buy at a later date.
