T...Thank you for arranging this guest post, Sarah!<br /><br />The Elizabethans and Walsingham in particular were never favourites of mine, but I am intrigued by how you, Mr. Gortner, seem to have specialised in taking as your protagonists ambiguous or reviled figures from history and showing them in a different light. Seeing another side of an argument is one of the reasons I love fiction. It persuaded me to acquire this book and <i>The Confessions Of Catherine de Medici</i>, which I look forward to reading in the coming weeks.Daniellehttp://romanticarmchairtraveller.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-59750796245534469662011-02-19T10:46:32.448-06:002011-02-19T10:46:32.448-06:00Wonderful post.

It is fascinating that one man was able to pull so many strings. I am interested to see how he plays out in future books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.com
