The Lady Elizabeth
Aug. 20th, 2008 07:38 amI started reading the book The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir yesterday. It started off perfectly. Then, by page 100, I started noticing a couple of odd things but didn't think much of it. I figured it was just for dramatic effect and nothing more. Then we get to Thomas Seymour, known as the Admiral in the book. And, yeap, lost me. Totally. It became nothing more than yet another bodice ripper who uses historical people and smears their names.
I'm going to try and trudge through the rest of it but honestly, for anyone else out there that actually cares about the historical facts, don't bother with this book once you get to the Admiral. The first part of the book is fine but the second part? It's just not worth the "but that's not what happened!" stress.
