C.W. Gortner has written some of my favorite Renaissance novels, and I really enjoyed this one. He brought the story of the infamous Catherine de Medici to life, showing through this fictional novel the forces that shaped her decisions and the complexity of her personality. Lots of court drama, political intrigue, and accurate historical details on the bloody conflict between Protestants and Catholics that tore France apart in the 16th century.
