I just finished this book last night. WOW! It's a wonderful read and very near impossible to put down. Coupled with The Last Queen, I'm now a bonefide Gortner fan!!
Venerable be Catherine de'Medici - we honor you- Patroness of the Most Christian Catholic Religion, Crusher of Heretics, and the Mother of Good Arts ! Intercede to St. Bartholomew with Holy Popes Clement VII and Leo X for Catholics everywhere and help aid Holy Mother Church in this hour... AMEN!
@xXchrisosaurXx ok that was mean of me sorry -- I am just a very enthusiastic European Historian sorry. She basically ruled as regent of France for her three sons after her husband died. She is blamed for strong persecutions of the Huguenots or Protestants and is thought to be very ruthless. But never the less she was a very strong ruler and very important in European History.
@tattisalles1989 Complete fiction, she was never his lover, but one who took Nostradamus under her protection. He, like Catherine, walked a middle road between the Catholics and Protestants. She was a great lover of the mystics and believed in his predictions, as they came to pass one after another in her times.
Mr. Gortner, A fabulous read. Thanks. The book trailer is also very good. I look forward to reading more of your work.
