If I could choose only one of these books to read, I would have to pick Winter King because of my fondness for reading about the Tudors. Which book would you choose?
Magnificent Obsession is a terrific book… well-written and filled with new information.
Pam, thank you for the recommendation. I know the author has a new theory about Prince Albert's death, and I'm curious to read that.
I am the English born author of 18 biographies and art books and a Winston Churchill Fellow in Art History and I have been allowed to work on my latest book, Royal Mistresses of the House of Hanover-Windsor in the Royal Libary dealing with 10 significant women showing how the role of women has changed over 300 years from Melusine, Duchess of Kendal to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Appearing first n Australia and then in USA and on amazon and then in UK.
Thank you for telling us about your book – it sounds very interesting. If there's a printed edition I'll be happy to list it on my site after it becomes available at Amazon.com.
