How did you start working as a historian? Here, Weir talks to us about her work as a historian, her interest in Elizabeth I, and what we can expect next. It’s probably fair to say that most women could learn a thing or two from her. Either way, the book will leave you wanting to know more about the woman who remained on her throne, against all odds, for 45 years, who managed to settle religious disputes with a system of relative tolerance and who famously fought off the invading Spanish armada. This book is an absolute must-read for history lovers as well as those who just enjoy a good, romantic story. As a female monarch, Elizabeth instantly became the most sought after woman-marrying her, in a sense, would mean gaining a kingdom. Titled The Marriage Game, Weir’s novel delves into the intriguing series of Elizabeth’s various courtships, from foreign princes who her councillors believed would make for beneficial alliances, to her suspected lover back home, Robert Dudley, a dashing courtier who was already married to someone else.
