À propos de cet audio
Tucked away in the country estate of her beloved father, Lord Calverley, young Nell de Lacey feeds her hungry mind with philosophy, language, and studies of science. Her mother, once a devoted lady-in-waiting to Henry VIII’s last wife, Katherine Parr, would rather her daughter stop dabbling in the grand affairs of men and instead prepare for her eventual duties as a wife. But Nell’s heart yearns for something more, and a chance meeting with Princess Elizabeth, then a prisoner of the Tower of London, pushes her closer toward finding it.
Now, years later, Nell’s chance arrives when she is summoned to serve as a lady-in-waiting to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth. But a lingering rumor about nine unaccounted for months in the Virgin Queen’s past reignites when the flame-haired Nell - a mirror image of Her Majesty both physically and intellectually - arrives at court. Quickly she catches the eye not only of the cunning Elizabeth, but of those who would see the queen fail.
Engrossing and enlightening, The Virgin Queen’s Daughter brings to life one of the greatest mysteries of one of the greatest monarchs.

“If Elizabeth I had a daughter, Nell is surely what she must have been like - brilliant and daring, risking everything for the right to fully exercise mind, heart, and spirit.” (Donna Cross, international best-selling author of Pope Joan)
“The Virgin Queen’s Daughter is both gritty and glittering, revealing the sharp blades beneath a silken court. I finished it in a day - well, two, if you count the five minutes past midnight! - and enjoyed it immensely.” (India Edghill, author of Wisdom’s Daughter)
“Beautifully written fiction with a fascinating hook.” (Karen Harper, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Boleyn)
