The Thistle and the Rose by Jean Plaidy
2.0

An easy enjoyable read, if a bit repetitive. I realise that Plaidy is constrained somewhat by history, but a lot of this book felt like rinse and repeat: Margaret falls in love, loses all her sense, is promptly cheated on and wants revenge. And this happens, what? Three, four times? I mean it's well-written repetition, but I can only read the same sequence of events so many times before it becomes a little tiresome.
