The Drama Of Mary Queen Of Scots
Romantic tragedy on the grand scale - or something darker, deeper and infinitely more complex?
In this brilliantly atmospheric novel, Mary Queen of Scots - young, beautiful and charismatic - figures not as a woman driven by passion but as the inspiration and the victim of one of the most murderous political plots in the annals of British history. Her secretary Riccio stabbed to death at her feet - the murder of her husband Darnley - her marriage to his murderer - even her own end on the headsman's block - were not random events in an era of easy violence, but intricately linked episodes in a grand, sometimes terrifying, and ultimately successful design.
