Legacy: The Acclaimed Novel of Elizabeth, England's Most Passionate Queen -- and the Three Men Who Loved Her
"Fast-paced...one of the most fascinating monarchs in history."
-New York Times Book Review
"A stupendous achievement...a book that captures
Queen Elizabeth I completely."
-Mainstream Historical
Beloved for its stunning storytelling, Legacy offers an exquisite portrait of the queen who defined an era. Tracing the unlikely path from her tragic childhood to her ruthless confrontations with Mary, Queen of Scots, and capturing in all its glory her brilliant reign as Europe's most celebrated queen, Legacy peels back the layers from a mysterious monarch and satisfies the questions of history.
Winner of the Georgette Heyer Historical Novel Prize and the Betty Trask Award, Legacy gives us Elizabeth the woman: proud, passionate, and captivating in her intensity. She inspired men to love her with bewitching devotion, no matter what the cost, but the depth of her love for England required a sacrifice that would haunt her to the grave.
"Full of dramatic twists and turns, not to mention a scintillating central character and colorful supporting cast. Readers will lose themselves for hours in this richly entertaining novel."

I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!
By Misfit - October 23, 2006AWESOME! An absolutely brilliant portrayal of Elizabeth I. The only thing I've ever seen come close to capturing Elizabeth so clearly and brilliantly is the old Masterpiece Theatre series on PBS done back in 70's or 80's with Glenda Jackson. All the charaterizations in the book are incredibly well drawn and detailed, particulary Elizabeth, Dudley and Cecil.
The author also has a wonderful way of describing the times, the scenes, the clothes, etc. The author's opinions on Elizabeth's virginity (or lack thereof) and as to who killed Amy Dudley are very intriguing. Anyone interested in reading about this very complex and powerful Queen should put this on their reading list. With the resurgence in popularity of historical fiction and all things English, I can't imagine how this incredible book can be out of print. As another reviewer wrote, go and and it now.
Comparable to Margret George's work on Henry VIII, the best novel on Elizabeth I I have ever read
By Lilly Flora "by Lilo Drandoff" - July 18, 2006This is without a doubt the premier novel about Queen Elizabeth the first I have ever read and it is a shame that it is out of print. No author I believe, has come close to Ms. Kay at presenting Elizabeth and those who were around her as true people with all of the jealousy's, faults and joys that really were in their lives. And she does in a style of writing I love the most. Epic, large scale and all encompassing (and quite a bit with Dudley and romance included, which always makes me happy.)
Elizabeth is hard to write fiction about I think, but that doesn't stop people from trying. As a subject for a bio epic she's perfect-the woman was both the luckiest and unluckiest woman in the world in her lifetime and brought all other powers in Europe to their knees. Not to mention the many rumors in her life. What happened with Admiral Seymour? Did Robert Dudley murder his wife Amy so he could marry Elizabeth? Did she and Dudley ever consummate their love? And what was the deal... read more
Favorite Elizabeth I fiction
By wkbee - April 13, 2006Absolutely my favorite fictional recounting of Elizabeth's story. I especially appreciated the way the author didn't limit herself to Elizabeth's perspective, but also offered the perspectives of others in her life, including, to name just a few, her mother, Cecil, Dudley and Mary Queen of Scots. This created a much more well-developed character than I've seen elsewhere; a character whose actions good and bad are strongly influenced and explained by the vicissitudes of her childhood and young adulthood. So many historical novels romanticize their protagonists, creating a one-dimensional hero out of a real person. I've always thought that that creats a cognitive dissonance for the reader because there is no way to similarly gild the historical characters' less attractive deeds. This Elizabeth is a complex and realistic character who, while not sanitized, is still highly sympathetic.
