Book Description
One of history's most captivating true stories - the scandal-filled life of Lucrezia Borgia
Product Description
In a castle in the mountains outside Rome, Lucrezia Borgia is born into history's most notorious family. Her father, who is to become Pope Alexander VI, receives his first daughter warmly, and her brothers, Cesare and Giovanni, are devoted to her. But on the corrupt and violent streets of the capital the Borgia family are feared, and Lucrezia's father causes scandal, living up to his reputation of 'most carnal man of his age'.
As Lucrezia matures into a beautiful young woman, her brothers are ever more protective and become fierce rivals for her attention. Amid glorious celebrations their father becomes Pope, and shortly after Lucrezia is married - but as Borgias the lives of the Pope's children are destined to be marred by scandal and tragedy, and it's a fate that Lucrezia cannot hope to escape ...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Lucrezia Borgia was not of the idea already implanted in my brain of a poisoner....it was her family!! I loved reading the book and quickly bought the second book. I really enjoyed reading this book and couldn't put it down. If you like Jean Plaidy you'll love this.

I read this as a child, and was delighted to discover it had been reprinted. It was everybit as enjoyable as i remembered. This and Light on Lucrezia remain amongst my favourates of Miss Plaidys work.
These books are easy to read, and utterly bring history to life, in my case they sparked a life long love of history and reading.
I utterly recommend reading this book, it will shed new light on one of histories most maligned characters Lucrezia Borgia.

This book was so boring that I actually fell asleep while reading it which is rare for me. The story does not involve you nor move you and was very shallow. Do not buy it.
