Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Mistress of France

A renaissance novel of destiny, love and power.

Mistress of France is an intriguing story of love and lust, jealousy and ambition, magic and murder set in the glorious palaces and chateaux of Renaissance France.

When Diane de Poitiers welcomes home the young princes of France, held as hostages in Spain for four years, she quickly gains their trust and sparks a passion that will endure a lifetime.

Bartered as a bride in the complex power struggle of three kingdoms, 14-year-old Catherine de Medici soon arrives in France to marry Henri duc d'Orleans, the second son of glamorous King Francois. From hostage to the royal palaces of France both Catherine and her new husband must put the trauma of their childhood aside and try to find a place in the most glittering court of Christendom. But Catherine quickly realises she will have to use all her Medici cunning to shine while her marriage is whispered as a misalliance, and she is called the ‘Grocer’s daughter’. Her only ally is the disturbing Italian sorcerer, Cosimo Ruggieri, a man prepared to use the dark arts to manipulate her destiny.

The eerie unearthing of an Egyptian talisman with untold powers sends Henri's confidante the beautiful Diane on a quest to fulfill the mysterious prophesy of her destiny – She will rise higher than a queen. But the elegant widow attracts the jealousy of the king's spiteful mistress and the court begins to fracture.

Emma Boling's love of history began with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) degree and developed over the years into a passion for Renaissance history in Europe. Her first book in the historical fiction genre, follows years of extensive research into the power of women in the court of Renaissance France, and how effectively they manipulated and ruled in a mans world.Emmas accessible writing style features

Why I chose to write about Renaissance France...The Renaissance was a fascinating period mixing the rediscovery of the great ancient scholars with the Church excesses that led to the Reformation and the wars of religion. Sweeping changes in art and architecture reshaped the physical landscape while translations of Plato, Aristotle and Hermes Trismegistus influenced the intellectuals and as a consequence, mans position in the cosmos. Art patronage saw the rise of such sublime talent as Leonardo

Loved this book, intriguing characters and a well written story. Enhancements are pretty cool too, there is plenty of extra information that I would have gone looking for otherwise such as great photos of paintings of the characters, pictures of beautiful chateaux and even a podcast. I would definitely recommend.

The author ably demonstrates her voice and style with this fascinating, classy and skillful blend of historical fact and 'faction'. Every night I was transported into the past as I followed the heroine's navigation through stormy seas.Meticulous historical research is blended with feel-like-you're-there detail and a great story line. Can't wait for the sequel!
