The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir

This past spring and summer I set off to read Alison Weir's books about the kings and queens of England and their lives. By far the best that I read was The Lady Elizabeth.
I am not sure if I felt a connection because of our shared name, or if I was just looking for something to read that was stimulating. I greatly enjoyed this book! I didn't know much about Queen Elizabeth before beginning the book, but I came to realize she was a strong queen who valued tolerance, especially when it came to religion. She is a great example of a powerful woman who knew her mind.
