Pretty good book. It goes into the fictional life of Cicely Plantagenet, sister of Queen Consort Elizabeth Plantagenet and aunt of Henry VIII. Reading some other fictional stories about this time period and some of the people of this era, Cicely didn't come off as being a very nice person. Of course, that makes the story better if there's an antagonist, and that's how she was sometimes portrayed.

Sandra Wilson's book probably gives a more accurate account of Cicely, and she comes off much more humanly. A good story, and a better representation of the sometimes difficult times Cicely and her family faced. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about the royal families of this time period.
