Romance Historical
One of the greatest loves of all time-between Elizabeth I
and Robert Dudley-comes to life in this vivid novel.
They were playmates as children, impetuous lovers as
adults-and for thirty years were the center of each
others' lives. Astute to the dangers of choosing any one
man, the Virgin Queen could never give her "Sweet Robin"
what he wanted most-marriage- yet she insisted he stay
close by her side. Possessive and jealous, their love
survived quarrels, his two disastrous marriages to other
women, her constant flirtations, and political
machinations with foreign princes.
His Last
Letter tells the story of this great love... and
especially of the last three years Elizabeth and Dudley
spent together, the most dangerous of her rule, when their
passion was tempered by a bittersweet recognition of all
that they shared-and all that would remain unfulfilled.
