This book's title states 'The Queens Sorr...ow' and I expected it to be about Queen Mary, a tragic figure really - she went through an awful lot in her life. However, its not, there is not a great deal about Mary in this book - its focused around a Spanish Sundial maker and what happened to him in England while he was here. It makes great reading though, and shows Queen Marys burning of heretics well. Has a real twist at the end which I wasn't expecting at all. Well worth reading.
Absolutely awful - not what I had come to expe...ct at all from previous books - not up to usual standard at all and couldn't believe I had actually finished it as the last page gives no explanation about the fate of the major characters at all. Wish I hadn't bought it!
