Summary |
Lettice Knollys, Elizabeth's cousin and rival for the love of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was also the mother to the Earl of Essex, the mercurial nobleman who eventually challenged Elizabeth's throne. Lettice had been intertwined with Elizabeth since childhood; they are both women of fierce intellect and desire--one trying to protect her country, and throne, the other trying to regain power and position for her family and each vying to convince the reader of her own private vision of the truth. |
