Publisher's Summary
Sunday Times bestselling novelist Alison Weir returns with the spellbinding story of Mary I.
A DESTINY REWRITTEN. A ROYAL HEART DIVIDED.
Adored only child of Henry VIII and his Queen, Katherine of Aragon, Princess Mary is raised in the golden splendour of her father's court. But the King wants a son and heir.
With her parents' marriage, and England, in crisis, Mary's perfect world begins to fall apart. Exiled from the court and her beloved mother, she seeks solace in her faith, praying for her father to bring her home. But when the King does promise to restore her to favour, his love comes with a condition.
The choice Mary faces will haunt her for years to come - in her allegiances, her marriage and her own fight for the crown. Can she become the queen she was born to be?
MARY I. HER STORY.
Alison Weir's new Tudor novel is the tale, full of drama and tragedy, of how a princess with such promise, loved by all who knew her, became the infamous Bloody Mary.

Great to have a story from. Mary's point of view!
I enjoyed Mary I Queen of Sorrows. it was nice to have a book that was taken from her point of view. too often is she see just as Bloody Mary without understanding what drove her to that point of many years of emotional torment and mistreatment at the hands of her Father and to an extent her Mother with the constant fight to have her take a side.
it was also good to get an insight into what likely went through her mind during her two false pregnancies, as well as her treatment at the hands of her husband who cared only about what Mary could give him as a King.

Well researched as always.
I enjoyed this book as I have all books I’ve read by this author. I’m curious however why the narrator, whose performance in all other aspects of was great took it upon herself to pronounce the name Pole as Poole!!??? It makes no sense.

Mills and Boon Disguised as History
This book should be classified as romance at best and historical fiction at worst. The problem with these types of books is that they become a fixed idea in those that listen to it without stepping into the more authoritative books written by those specialists that have devoted years to the study of the era. One critic states that it’s good to hear Mary’s point of view! Surely they know that it comes solely from Ms Weirs imagination? Even when a ‘fact’ is carefully inserted into the story, it is misinterpreted to the point where you’d think that it was a divorce/ custody battle of today. It was not. History was much more exciting than this midday TV soap opera. Listen if you must but avoid if your love of history is as wonderful as my own!
