Started The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir and wall-banged it very fast. A three year old who can embroider and think emotionally like an adult and put timescale into context? I think not! IMO the writing needs a good edit too. Couldn't be doing with it.
Instead I have picked up The Mysteries of Glass by Sue Gee - 19thC Herefordshire, and already I'm loving it. What beautiful, writing, delicate as crystal, but muscular too.
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard nI chasront
'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
