Mary Queen of Scots is a heroine everyone recognizes but few truly know; her death on the English scaffold is better remembered than her turbulent and romantic life. All but forgotten is Mary's long imprisonment in England as a "guest" of the Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife, Bess of Hardwick, and it is this period that Gregory has brought so vividly to life. The story is told from three points of view: Bess, a spy for Elizabeth in her own household who watches her fortune and her husband's love destroyed by his obsession with Mary. Mary, a queen who will lie, seduce, plot, and sacrifice the lives of hundreds to regain her Scots throne and then take Elizabeth's. George, Earl of Shrewsbury, who has sworn allegiance to Elizabeth, but falls in love with Mary, and ultimately must condemn his love to death. In page-turning suspense, The Other Queen brings these relationships to life with emotional intensity and historical accuracy. Captivating in its storytelling and subject matter, The Other Queen is poised to be the most significant feat yet by “the pre-eminent writer of historical fiction”. (USA Today)
