The
Other Queen
by Phillippa Gregory
In
her latest full immersion into British history, Gregory revisits the
endlessly fascinating drama of Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots.
As retold in this novel, the story of Mary's lavish imprisonment as
the "guest" of the Earl of Shrewbury displays a tinge of
surrealism, especially when counterpoised against the cutthroat
schemes of the Elizabethan court.
