I came across this book in my local library, unaware of it or the authors' existence. It turned out to be fun.
At first it seemed to be a bit choppy to read, but I did get into the rhythm and enjoy myself. This is Margaret Lawrence's version of what happened to the infamous lost colony of Roanoke Virginia. I have to say it's a bit far fetched for me to even consider as a possiblity, but it was quite interesting.
There really isn't a great deal of character development or any explanation of their true role in history, as the author seemed to assume anyone reading this novel will already be familiar with all the major players in Elizabeth I's government. For those who DO know them it's a fun book. To anyone else it won't matter! It might spark a futher interest in this remarkable woman's reign. ( )

An excellent historical mystery centered around the Roanoke settlement, this novel gives a rich view of Elizabethan England. ( )
