Spanning Sarah Churchill's life, it follows her rise and close friendship with (eventual) queen Anne of England. Sarah is a fascinating and relatable character (although I did sometimes wonder how much of her emotional life was true). She's involved in politics, passionately in love with her husband (throughout the 30 years they spent together! Unfortunately, their moments are some of the least believable in the book), and emotional support and sometime lover to the queen (I really appreciated how this wasn't sensationalized). And my god, a lot of children die. It's a fascinating reminder of how ambitious people have always worked hard to get what they want. I loved that Holloway Scott goes into the politics and issues of the time so thoroughly; they've never seemed so interesting to me (and I actually felt like I kind of understood them). But then, I've always been better at history as narratives than history as dates and facts. Behind me I heard my sister gasp. "Oh, Sarah, please don't!" "Please what, Frances?" I asked, without looking, for I knew better than to turn my back on her husband. "What? Would you rather have me betray the princess and my own faith than tell your husband how little use I have for his low, conniving tricks?" "Don't concern yourself, Frances," Lord Tyrconnel said. "She's doubtless only parroting the falsehoods she's heard from Churchill himself." "Why should my husband conconct any such lies, when the entire court knows the truth of your cowardice in battle?" I said. "Colonel Lord Churchill would never sully his honor by repeating the sordid tales that cling to your coattails." According to the last page, she's written more than thirty historical novels, and even though that's a large number, it's not surprising because it's very easy for me to see why.
