"I enjoyed this book about another intriguing woman living under the reign of Queen Elizabeth. It amazes me about the people who were behind the scenes, who were behind Elizabeth, but who did what they could to support her and her new way of life. it was an interesting read."
"Lovell chose an excellent subject for a biography in this book. Bess of Hardwick has long been a fascinating woman, like Elizabeth I, her contemporary and friend. Lovell seems to back all of her conclusions about Bess' personality and feelings/thoughts with considerable hard evidence. Through telling Bess' story, Lovell also tells the reader quite a lot about the Elizabethean era, politics, lifestyles, gender roles, and economics. She includes many tidbits about multiple other historical figures that are not necessary to tell Bess' story but flesh out the whole book quite nicely. Lovell writes this history fluidly and with a decent gift for story-telling."
"If you love reading about powerful women, this book is a keeper! Bess of Hardwick is a rags to riches story about a woman who rose from poor beginnings and married her way up to Countess. But, her success also came from the type of person that she was - intelligent, compassionate, devoted, and strong. She certainly didn't have it easy, but she seemed to make the most of every situation that fell upon her. It is said that she was the most powerful woman in England aside from Queen Elizabeth I.
When I started reading this book, I knew very little about Bess, but upon completion I felt like Mary Lovell did an excellent job of explaining just who Bess really was. This is definitely in my top 10 books of all time.
You could tell the amount of excellent research that Mary Lovell did for this book. She uncovered new information about Bess of Hardwick which is incredible considering that this story is over 400 years old."
