review 1: I have not read the Virgin's Daughters perhaps that would have helped ease me into Ms. Westin's writing style. At first the flash back chapters, out of order, were hard to keep track of and distracted from the story. Using the Chapter Guide at the beg. to keep track of the dates and places does help. Refering back to it before I read each new chapter kept things from becoming to confusing. Once I got into the flow of the book I was caught up in the story of a timeless love. The star-crossed lovers of the Tudor Dynasty.
review 2: This novel assumes the reader knows something about the history of the Tudor period. I think a reader new come to Tudor history would have to do other reading to understand it. That said, I knew enough of the period to enjoy the n... moreovel and see the motives behind Elizabeth's behavior toward her beloved Robin. There are flashbacks here to help the reader understand their entire relationship from the time they were children together.The POV switches between Elizabeth and Robert. The author plays on Lettice Knollys likeness to Elizabeth as a key for Robert to be attracted to her. All in all, excellent characterization. less
