This review is from: The Lady Penelope: The Lost Tale of Love and Politics in the Court of Elizabeth I (Hardcover)
I'm at the time in my life that I want to just read for pleasure. I have all the facts that my brain can handle. Expecially facts about the Tudors, since I've been obsessed with them for many years. So I looked forward to getting this book because I thought it was going to be another interesting read. But I quickly got bogged down because this is not the entertaining book I was expecting. For one thing Penelope is only mentioned in her relationships with other people. I was hoping to read about her own life, but there were just tidbits inserted here and there, while there was loads of information about her relatives. She was related to everybody at Court, cousin to Queen Elizabeth, so it was only occasionally that the book got around to her. This book should have been called "Various People Who Penelope was Related To." I was expecting a novel, and got a textbook.
