A stunning novel set in the Tudor court, as the rivalry between Queen Mary and her half-sister Elizabeth is played out against a background of betrayal, conflict and passion.
The savage rivalry of the daughters of Henry VIII, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth, mirrors that of their mothers, Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Each will fight by any available means for the crown and future of the kingdom.
Elizabeth's bitter struggle to claim the throne she believes is hers by right, and the man she desires almost more than her crown, is watched by her 'fool': a girl who has been forced to leave her homeland of Spain, as a Jew fleeing the Inquisition. In a court where truth is wittily denied and lies are mere games, it is the fool who can speak plainly: in these dangerous times, a woman must choose between ambition and love. Elizabeth will not make the same mistakes as her mother.
Philippa Gregory, the bestselling author, presents The Queen's Fool, a top historical fiction that delves into the savage rivalry of Queen Mary and Elizabeth. The book, a Sunday Times bestseller, is a testament to Gregory's award-winning storytelling, capturing the essence of the Tudor court with its intricate web of betrayal, conflict, and passion.
For fans of Alison Weir (Henry VIII), Elizabeth Chadwick (The Summer Queen), Carol Mcgrath (The Silken Rose), Tracy Borman (The Devil's Slave), and Ken Follett (A Column of Fire).
