Elizabeth was born in one of the most interesting times in
English history. Her father was King Henry VIII. Her mother, Anne Boleyn, was
the second of Henry's eight wives. After her mother was executed, she was
raised in an environment of personal and political intrigue. Elizabeth was the
second of Henry's three children and as third in line to the throne, was not
expected to become Queen. In Just a Girl, it is the night before Elizabeth's
Coronation as Queen Elizabeth I of England. She tells the story of her journey
from girl to queen. While historically accurate, Just a Girl is also a
fascinating read for anyone who like family and political drama.
If you enjoy this book, you can continue Elizabeth's journey in Jane Caro's next book, Just a Queen.
