La lettrice di fiori 
What a wonderfully entertaining romp through the history of the middle 1600's when a very young Mary Stewart returns to Scotland to rule. When her mother Marie Guise dies, she entrust s silver casket to one her wards, Rinette, tells her to hide it and only give it to the Mary when next she sets foot on Scottish soil. What follows are the many plots, counter-plots, assassins, secret groups, political maneuvering and forced marriages. All that made living at court such a treacherous business.
not bad..

I was captivated from beginning to end. The writing was great, the mystery and romance was everything I could wish for, and the characters felt honest and had great motivation. A truly enjoyable historical fiction novel.

Commentary Toward Books La lettrice di fiori
Corte di Scozia, 1560. Rinette Leslie di Granmuir, figlia di cortigiani, possiede un’abilità unica e preziosa: pratica la floromanzia, l’antica arte di predire il futuro leggendo i fiori. Eppure questo dono non la metterà al riparo da ciò che sta per accadere: la regina, in punto di morte, le consegna uno scrigno che contiene alcune lettere cifrate con i più oscuri segreti della casa reale e la prova degli intrighi dei nobili di corte. Nel cofanetto si trova anche una pergamena con una profezia firmata da Nostradamus che minaccia il destino della monarchia. La giovane Rinette ha il compito di consegnarlo a Maria Stuarda, la futura regina, ma commetterà un errore fatale: poco prima di recarsi dalla nuova sovrana, si confiderà con il proprio amato, mettendolo inconsapevolmente in pericolo. Alcuni cortigiani senza scrupoli, che hanno spiato la conversazione, pur di entrare in possesso del prezioso oggetto, fanno sparire misteriosamente l’uomo. Ma quali importanti segreti potrà mai contenere lo scrigno? E quale sarà il destino del Regno di Scozia? Distrutta dal dolore e circondata da gente di cui non può fidarsi che complotta dietro di lei, Rinette avrà un solo modo per sottrarsi alle loro sordide trame: affidarsi ai fiori, al loro magico potere e alla loro forza profetica. Riuscirà a rimanere immune ai pericoli che incombono su di lei e a ritrovare un amore perduto?Identify Books Supposing La lettrice di fiori

Yet another gorgeous novel from Elizabeth Loupas. Having finished The Second Duchess last week and loving it, I knew I had to get my teeth stuck into her next. So, I already had this on my bookcase. Having re-read the back cover, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the first book. Firstly, The Second Duchess was so good, was it a fluke? Secondly, I wasn't sure about the plot. A fictional character who can "read flowers"? I'm not a lover of fantasy at all. Anyway, I got myself settled andWhat a wonderfully entertaining romp through the history of the middle 1600's when a very young Mary Stewart returns to Scotland to rule. When her mother Marie Guise dies, she entrust s silver casket to one her wards, Rinette, tells her to hide it and only give it to the Mary when next she sets foot on Scottish soil.
