The most poignant aspect of this brilliantly structured novel is the contrast between the two love affairs, Elizabeth's with Dudley and Kate's with Edward, the queen proven right by history, Kate paying a terrible price for having what the queen cannot. In 1599, Elizabeth has ruled for near forty years, Dudley replaced by the handsome and ambitious Robert Devereaux, Earl of Essex, the second great romantic scandal of Elizabeth's reign. Westin's Elizabeth Tudor inspires mixed feelings as she rails against the infidelities of Kate and, later, Mary, a monarch unable to bear the love matches of others when she must endure loneliness. In 1599 Mary Rogers encounters a different queen, burdened by a lifetime of difficult choices. Mary's dilemma is equal to Kate's, the monarch unbending in principle, even as she is battered by an unfortunate affection for Essex. The Virgin Queen stands alone once more.
Westin perfectly captures the relationship between queen and ladies, Kate and Mary facing years of repressed feelings and a constant fear of exposure. Ravaged by time and played false by the last of her unrequited loves, Westin's portrayal of Elizabeth is powerful, the long life and terrible choices of a queen who demands the impossible from those who love her. It is Kate's and Mary's devotion that provides the fodder for this tale of a court where love must always defer to loyalty, honor a bitter consolation in the dark.
