It's bee...Thanks everyone for wishing us well!<br /><br />It's been more than 3 years since I read this one, and I remember it being my first taste of Charles II and I loved it! I think I was more interested in his story with Lucy Walter than Minette... I didn't like her situation at all. She loved Louis from the start and he didn't see her as anything special until after they were both married to other people. Then they kept a close relationship that could not be consummated. It was sort of strange. <br /><br />Her mother is definitely not a favorite of mine. It's her devotion to her religion that caused so many problems in the first place and she just keeps on and on with her kids to convert, though they are princes and princesses of a Protestant country.Arleighhttp://historical-fiction.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-15104057141894380612009-10-08T10:22:30.915-07:002009-10-08T10:22:30.915-07:00Hey Marie, this was our pick for September (which ...Hey Marie, this was our pick for September (which unfortunately I was unable to follow through with...)- And to find out our next picks, just go to the small 'Jean Plaidy Reading Group Member'button- the one with her picture on it- it will lead you directly to our page.

Yes I agree Henriette was an opinionated little girl, as she grew I feel that the death of her father and the faith and devotion she felt for her brother gave her false hope. That she would always be able to rely on her brother and as she idolised him felt that all her problems would be solved by Charles 11.zetorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912433866457968555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-77820722465914984282009-10-07T10:36:47.866-07:002009-10-07T10:36:47.866-07:00Sooooo glad to see things are getting better for A...Sooooo glad to see things are getting better for Arleigh and her family and nice to see a post here again!Felicia J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09724251348367300382noreply@blogger.com
