Told in alternating points of view, Her Highness, the Traitor tells what happened leading up to and after the death of King Henry VIII. His son Edward VI became king after his death however, if he died, Henry’s daughter Mary was to become queen and if she died, the Kingdom would go to Elizabeth. Sounds simple but it was not.
It is no secret that I am a fan of Susan Higginbotham and this novel has not changed my mind on that. I like the way this novel is laid out, telling it in alternating points of views work really well. The reader is able to get the story from all sides, not just one point of view. Higginbotham doe an outstanding job of trying to get to the truth of what really might have happened. The writing is clear and beautifully descriptive and the characters jump out of the page to greet the reader and welcome him or her into the past.
