11.Pope JoanPope Joan
from Crown

Customer Review:
There are always two questions about Pope Joan:
1. COULD it have happened?
2. DID it happen?

Customer Review:
"The Virgin's Lover" is based around the love triangle between Queen Elizabeth the 1st, her Master of Horse, Robert Dudley, and his wife, Amy Robsart.

I have not finished this book yet. I like very much the way Rushdie writes but I am having a hard time staying with this as well as keeping all the characters straight. However, I will finish the book.

I love this series - the mysteries are interesting and the characters are fascinating and real.

Customer Review:
I listened to the audiobook version of "Paths of Glory."
