"PHilippa Gregory "The Queen of royal fiction." -- USA Today. "Two women competing for a man's heart. Two queens fighting to the death for dominance. The untold story of Mary, Queen of Scots. This dazzling novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author PHilippa Gregory presents a new and unique view of one of history's most intriguing, romantic, and maddening heroines. Biographers often neglect the captive years of Mary, Queen of Scots, who trusted Queen Elizabeth's promise of sanctuary when she fled from rebels in Scotland and then found herself imprisioned as the "guest" of George Talbot, Earl of SHrewsbury, and his indomitable wife, Bess of Hardwick. The newly married couple welcome the doomed queen into their home, certain that serving as her hosts and jailers will bring them an advantage in the cutthroat world of the Elizabethan court. To their horror, they find that the task will bankrupt them, and as their home becomes the epicenter of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, their loyalty to each other and tho their sovereign comes into question. If Mary succeeds in seducing the earl into her own web of trechery and treason, or if the great spymaster William Cecil links them to the growing conspiracy to free Mary from her illegal imprisonment, they will all face the headsman. Philippa Gregory uses new research and her passion for historical accuracy to place a well-known heroine in a completely new tale full of suspense, passion, and political intrigue. For years, readers have clamored for Gregory to tell Mary's story, and The Other Queen is the result of her determination to present a novel worthy of this extraordinary heroine." -- from the inner front jacket flap. "If the publishing world were to crown its preeminent writer of . historical fiction, the throne would go to British author PHilippa Gregory." -- USA Today. "The facts are well known, but the way that Gregory tells the story is a wonder." -- THe Historical Novels Review. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 006553
