This novel is about a real woman that was part of the court of both King Henry VII and Henry VIII, Jane Popyncourt. This is a fictionalized story of her life. Little is known of the real Jane Popyncourt, but the author built a good story around the facts. Young Jane is brought to England from France by her mother, when she is 8 years old, and made a ward of the king. Her mother dies within a few months, while she is away from Jane traveling with the king and queen. When Jane becomes an adult, she questions the mysterious circumstances of her mother's death, but those who knew her mother don't really want to talk about it. Jane is also looking for answers as to why they had to flee France all those years ago. When a French duke who has been taken prisoner in England takes an interest in Jane, she agrees to become his mistress and spy on him for the king, thinking that eventually, when the duke is released to go back to France, she can go with him and find the answers to the questions she has about her mother. I really enjoyed this book, and especially the authors attention to detail to life in the Tudor court. And while the title may be a bit "salacious" sounding, there is nothing graphic in this book; the few "love scenes" in this book are very brief and mild. The book also featured family trees of the royal families, and a "who's who" list in the back of the book of the real historical figures in the story. This novel is part of a series called Secrets of the Tudor Court; there are two more books in the series, and a 4th one which will be available soon. I am looking forward to reading the rest.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Christopher Paolini

There are few writers whom whom I am so comfortable as Anthony Trollope: I can read and re-read his novels, and each reading makes me just admire him the more. Can You Forgive Her? is the first of the six Palliser novels dealing with parliamentary politics. And yet it is about far more. On one hand, it is about a wealthy and powerful young couple whose marriage is in danger -- because the wife, Lady Glencora Palliser, wants to run away from her politically absorbed husband Plantagenet, who is something of a stick, and take up with her old love, the ne'er-do-well Burgo Fitzgerald. The title, however, refers to the troubled loves of Alice Vavasor, who is distantly related to lady Glencora. When we first see her, she is engaged to a Mr John Grey of Nethercoats after having broken her engagement with the troubled George Vavasor, a cousin of hers. Then she takes up with George again until he becomes too abusive. The influence of the Pallisers, who have taken up her cause, finally prevails; and she makes a happy marriage. In the end, she muses: She had found her master, as we sometimes say, and laughed to herself with a little inward laughter as she confessed that it was so. She was from henceforth altogether in his hands. If he chose to tell her that they were to be married at Michaelmas, or at Christmas, or on Lady Day, they would, of course, be married accordingly. She had taken her fling at having her own will, and she and all her friends had seen what had come of it. She had assumed the command of the ship, and had thrown it upon the rocks, and she felt that she never ought to take the captain's place again. It was well for her that he who was to be captain was one whom she respected as thoroughly as she loved him. As with Trollope's other novels, the author delights in setting complicated problems for his large cast of characters, which, at the end, he wraps up in a rush of events that leaves the reader breathless. There is a term in chess -- reculer pour mieux sauter -- to retreat in order to gain more running room to jump forward -- which describes why he is more comfortable writing long novels (this one is 848 pages, but doesn't seem half so long) than short stories or novelettes. Can You Forgive Her? is not a bad place to start reading Trollope. It shows him at his most typical and at his best. (In fact, out of his forty-seven novels, about a dozen of them are not bad places to start reading him.)
