Heart of a rose

This is the conclusion to the story of Mary Tudor, youngest sister of King Henry 8th of England. Mary's husband, the King of France is dead and she finds herself in great danger. The new King of France wants her for his mistress, and her brother wants her married to the Spanish heir. However, Mary has a mind of her own and knows who she wants to marry and dares all to make it happen.This a true love story in which Mary showed herself a woman of courage and perservence and was prepared to sacrifice everything she had to marry the man she truly loved.Once again, this author shows a fine understanding of the Renaissance courts of Europe and England. She successfully displays the danger, formality and the risks of living under an absolute monarch. It was refreshing to read a novel on this lady who has had so little in general written about her over years. The blurb attached to this book said that the author did not agree with changing the facts of history to make a more "dramatic" story in her historical novels and this is easily seen in this well written book as all the major events in here are well chronicled in the "serious" history books.The first book in this two part novel is ROSE OF ENGLAND.
