Items related to Reluctant Queen
A brand-new historical novel from a well-loved storyteller - Sixteenth-century France. Gabrielle d’Esrées’ one wish is to marry for love, but her mother sells her as a mistress to three different men before she catches the eye – and the heart – of Henry of Navarre, King of France. Henry promises to marry her, but Gabrielle’s difficulties have just begun . . . for Henry’s wife will only divorce him if he promises not to marry Gabrielle. Is the love of a king enough to secure her both the happiness and respectability she craves and a crown for their son as the next dauphin of France?

About the Author:
Lightfoot has been a teacher, bookseller and smallholder.
Review:
The rules are different for kings. At least that is what Gabrielle d'Estrées discovers when Henry IV convinces her to become his latest mistress by promising that one day he will marry her. There is just one problem: Henry already has a wife, Margot. She has barricaded herself in a castle in Auvergne and doesn't seem thrilled with the idea of handing over her crown to Gabrielle. As the years pass, Gabrielle gains considerable power at court as Henry's "Madame la Marquise," yet the official title of queen of France remains just outside her grasp. Readers who miss the entertaining royal chronicles written by Jean Plaidy will welcome the second colorful installment in Lightfoot's French historical series, which delivers plenty of royal passion and high-stakes politics. --Booklist, 1st December 2010
