"Queen Elizabeth's Daughter: A Novel of Elizabeth I" by Anne Clinard Barnhill

Well, I plodded my way through this book with the greatest resentment. If you are a newbie to Elizabethan literature of our times you can definitely dip your toes in the water with this one, that way when you read your next title things can only improve. I'm sorry but this book does not live up to the potential it promises. Not bad reading, just tedious. Having said that, there are some nice visuals planted throughout the story. Major pet peeve in this book, love interest goes by Sir John to John back to Sir John in the same paragraph, same page, and even in the middle of intimate scenes. ????? If the author isn't sure, what the hell am I reading?
