This is perfect for those who love to read about the Tudors. It is not narrative nonfiction (it‘s a dry narrative). I learned so much about Bess of Hardwick (whose 4th husband had the “honor” of hosting Mary, Queen of Scots during her house arrest years). Bess was unlikable in many ways, but she was determined and loved to build. For a woman in the 16th century, she had guts. I‘m choosing this for #SomethingWithAnUnlikableCharacter #Nonfiction2019
