When Alison Weir publishes a book, I read it! I previously really enjoyed her biography of Elizabeth of York and greatly anticipated this historical fiction account of her life. Weir has a wonderful ability to add humanity to these long dead historical figures. This story covers young Elizabeth (known as Bessy) from a little girl all the way to her death. I haven’t seen or read much about the period after her marriage to Henry VII and I really enjoyed those parts. A truly fascinating woman, who suffered so much loss and sorrow in her young life. I look forward to reading more in the Tudor Rose series and really anything Alison Weir writes!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
