Review: In the Shadow of the Empress: The Defiant Lives of Maria Theresa, Mother of Marie Antoinette, and Her Daughters
In the Shadow of the Empress: The Defiant Lives of Maria Theresa, Mother of Marie Antoinette, and Her Daughters by Nancy GoldstoneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nancy Goldstone is the master of the multi-biography of women all in one. She manages to weave her way through time in a way that isn't frustrating. This book also goes into detail about the sisters who kept their heads and are lesser known - so much of the information in this book may be valuable to readers. They will also be entertained too, I have read everything she has written and can't wait for what is next.

Review: Ungrateful Daughters: The Stuart Princesses Who Stole Their Father's Crown
Ungrateful Daughters: The Stuart Princesses Who Stole Their Father's Crown by Maureen WallerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Many of the Stuarts lived in a very difficult time where religious differences and dynastic ambition lead to fractures amongst each other. This tells the events from a way which definitely makes the daughters appear 'ungrateful' - however it doesn't demonise Mary and Anne. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested on the topic.
