Sovereign Ladies by Maureen Waller
Women belonged neither in government nor on the battlefield and yet England's queens defied all the odds ...
'Excellent.. a fascinating and highly readable account of England's six reigning queens. Ms Waller writes with enormous elegance and verve, and has managed to cram a dizzying amount of research into a relatively modest 500 pages' * Katie Hickman, Daily Mail *
'This is a great blockbuster of a book, scrupulously researched, well-structured ... taking in some rattling good narrative on the way' * Frances Wilson, Daily Telegraph *
'Readable and engaging' * Virginia Rounding, The Sunday Times *
'By the end, the reader feels as if they have spent hours in the company of a court habituée who knew all these women well ... How will Britain cope with a king after such an astonishing tradition of successful queenship? The question makes this intelligent and readable book extremely timely' * Dianne Purkiss, Sunday Telegraph *
