Within a few breathless chapters, Anne has followed Frankie into the court of King James, who takes a shine to Frankie and praises her attire. From that august encounter, a whole host of events are set in train. Anne is widowed and finds in her solitary status new freedoms but also increasing obligations, stripped of the physical and financial protection of a man. Frankie, meanwhile, severs ties with Essex, who finally admits his sexual insufficiency. She turns, instead, to Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, one of the king’s favourites. She, too, is impoverished now, though, with Essex holding on to her dowry and her father near bankrupt from building Audley End country house. Then Overbury enters the affair, threatening to destroy the fragile happiness that Frankie and Anne have built around them. They must act or lose everything.

Historical fiction at its scintillating best and most filmic."Overall, a well written and entertaining novel revealing a fascinating world of court, scandal and plot through the eyes of a commoner. Sappiamo benissimo che le cronache e i processi erano scritti esclusivamente da uomini per esaltare la giustezza del loro intelletto su quello "debole" delle donne, specie se queste avevano osato dimostrare intraprendenza e spirito libero: ho sempre pensato che anche la vita di Frances Howard e, soprattutto, di Anne Turner fosse uno di questi casi, e questa ricostruzione moderna ne è la conferma.
