Before she is three, Elizabeth learns of the tragic fate that has befallen her mother, the enigmatic and seductive Anne Boleyn, and that she herself has been declared illegitimate, an injustice that will haunt her all her life. What comes next is a succession of stepmothers, bringing with them glimpses of love, fleeting security, tempestuous conflict, and tragedy.
The death of her father puts the teenage Elizabeth in greater peril, leaving her at the mercy of ambitious and unscrupulous men. Like her mother two decades earlier, she is imprisoned in the Tower of London - and fears she will also meet her mother's grisly end.
Power-driven politics, private scandal, and public gossip, a disputed succession, and the grievous example of her sister, "Bloody" Queen Mary, all cement Elizabeth's resolve in matters of statecraft and love, and set the stage for her transformation into the iconic Virgin Queen.
Sweeping in scope, The Lady Elizabeth is a fascinating portrayal of a woman far ahead of her time - whose dangerous and dramatic path to the throne shapes her future greatness.

I must say that I love Alison Weir’s accounting oh British history and The Lady Elizabeth is written in a fascinating way.
This book, even though a novel, is based mainly on true facts and it helped me understand-and even feel sorry, may I say- [for] the reasons that made Queen Elizabeth I act the way she did throughout her life. Undoubtedly a remarkable woman it must not have been easy to overcome all the things that consistently marked -and imperiled- her even as a child and well into adulthood so that she could become the sovereign that she was.
If you like this theme you Must read (listen) to The Lady Elizabeth.
(I must confess that I will listen to it again)
Rosalyn Landor does a great job narrating the story, she has a pleasant voice and perfectly outlines each passage and character.
This was a most enjoyable experience that I didn’t want to end.
