Book Reviews of Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens
Book Review: Good chick history
Summary: 3 Stars
Think of this as the Gray's Anatomy version of the Elizabeth / Mary saga -- relationships. Hours and hours of relationships. Who's about to get engaged to whom, how do they feel about that, what if they don't marry this one, but that one instead, and what does it all mean about her experience of her developing sexuality. Chick history.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. If that's what you like you'll like this book very much. But if you don't like that, this is a good book to avoid.
The other folks down here in the 3 star section are correct, for those of us whose thoughts about relationships begin and end with, "Am I getting any," the book is extremely repetitious. And what's repeated over and over and over is detailed picking and turning and prodding and wallowing in the emotional experience of relationships.
The research seems to be original and detailed. The writing is excellent. The little islands of history dotting the oceans of relationship stuff, fascinating.
