review 1: Another compelling read that brings to life the shadowy world of plots and conspiracies in the closing years of the Glorious Queen of England's reign. A narrative structure switching between multiple characters is a difficult gambit to pull of successfully but Ms Gristwood succeeds most admirably. A cast of characters would have helped though. The narrator is a inspiring creation and should not go waste after just one adventure...
review 2: I think “The Girl in the Mirror” by Sarah Gristwood is a wonderful book. The story is set in the Elizabethan Era and revolves around the conflict between the ageing Queen and the ambitious Earl of Essex. This is a fictional account supported by historical fact and the author lets us know at the end of the book what par... morets are based on supposition. We follow the story through the adventures of a young female gardener-artist, disguised as a male, which means we are also treated to information about changing styles in gardening as well as changing styles in fashion. Reading this kind of book is my favourite way of learning and reviewing history. It’s an excellent book. less
