The Lady Elizabeth

Much has been written about "the virgin Queen," but little attention has been paid to her tumultuous early life, when her path to the throne and her very survival were at risk. In this gripping, historically authentic novel, bestselling historian Alison Weir paints a vivid portrait of Elizabeth I. From the deaths of her parents, Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, to the fanaticism of her sister, Mary I, Weir traces one of the most fascinating periods in English history through the eyes of the woman who would decide its future.
