Book Description
Following the tremendous success of her first novel, Innocent Traitor,
acclaimed historian and New York Times bestselling author Alison Weir
turns her masterly storytelling skills to the early life of young Elizabeth
Tudor, who would grow up to become England s most intriguing and powerful
queen.
Before she is three, Elizabeth learns of the tragic fate that has befallen
her mother, the enigmatic and seductive Anne Boleyn, and that she herself
has been declared illegitimate, an injustice that will haunt her all
her life. What comes next is a succession of stepmothers, bringing with
them glimpses of love, fleeting security, tempestuous conflict, and
tragedy. The death of her father puts the teenage Elizabeth in greater
peril, leaving her at the mercy of ambitious and unscrupulous men. Like
her mother two decades earlier, she is imprisoned in the Tower of London
and fears she will also meet her mother s grisly end. Power-driven politics,
private scandal and public gossip, a disputed succession, and the grievous
example of her sister, Bloody Queen Mary, all cement Elizabeth s resolve
in matters of statecraft and love, and set the stage for her transformation
into the iconic Virgin Queen.
Sweeping in scope, The Lady Elizabeth is a fascinating portrayal of
a woman far ahead of her time whose dangerous and dramatic path to the
throne shapes her future greatness.
From AudioFile
Rosalyn Landor’s brisk narration zooms in on Elizabeth I’s life from
age 3 to her early twenties, when she comes to rule. Landor demonstrates
the many fine details of Weir’s research and highlights relationships
and characters with well-interpreted voices. We warm with Elizabeth
when her father, Henry VIII, praises his "chip off the old block" and
then shrink when he roars with displeasure. Landor highlights the tenderness
and constancy of Elizabeth’s governess, Kat Ashley; the tenacious pursuit
of her stepfather, Thomas Seymour; the bitterness and jealousy of her
sister, Queen Mary. Together the portraits give listeners an understanding
of a precociously wise young woman caught in precarious situations.
An author’s afterword describes how differently Weir approaches novels
and nonfiction writing. S.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award ⌐ AudioFile
