The Lady Elizabeth is about Queen Elizabeth's life before she was crowned. I've always loved historical fiction and the time era of the Tudors and Queen Elizabeth is one of my favorites. Thus I have read everything by Philippa Gregory as well as many other books about this time period. This book doesn't really have much new information except for one main thing. She suggests that Elizabeth actually got pregnant by the Admiral and had a miscarriage. This was something I had never heard of. Elizabeth is always protrayed as being very sickly at times so I believe all the other books I've read just passed off the time when Weir suggests she was pregnant as a time she was merely ill.Other than that it was a an interesting read and it was definetly a different point of view than others I have run. Elizabeth intruiges me greatly at how much she enjoyed being a leader, but also in how much effort and hard work she put into everything in order to be the greatest leader she can be. So if anyone else is interested in her as well, I certainly reccomend this book.
