Sixth read of Christmas: This powerful account of a year in the life of Mary Queen of Scots examines the devastation of lost power and the terror of being at the mercy of men whose threats are both political and personal. Can't wait to see Flora does next. @floracarr.bsky.social

I just finished it. It’s a brilliant book, beautifully written and, despite being historical fiction, it (alas) feels very current. I loved how it focused on the relationships between the women, like an intricate dance. Putting the cover here so my friends/followers can take note.
