Tranter Lite
23 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
A nice cliff notes version of the lives of Marie de Guise, wife and widow of King James V of Scotland, and her daughter Mary Queen of Scots. Both women struggled to reign and rule in Scotland which is difficult at the best of times through history but this as Catholics during the Reformation and as Women which has been unheard of in Scotland. Both women are tragic and portrayed doing their best. The book is 200 pages long and leaves 100 pages for each woman covering the highlites of their lives. Tranter gives us many of the facts and events with a few pages of 1st person dialogue. A lot of the book seems like a review or frame work for something which could have been fleshed out into a couple of novels or even trilogy. I was not drawn into their lives like the characters of previous Tranter books. A nice review of the period but from the surface perspective.
