From the time she was a child, Mary Stuart knew she was Queen of Scotland—and would someday rule as such. But before she would take the throne, she would spend her childhood in the court—and on the throne—of France. There she would fall under the influence of power-hungry relatives, develop a taste for French luxury and courtly manners, challenge the formidable Queen of England and alienate the Queen-Mother of France, and begin to learn her own appeal as a woman and her role as a queen.When she finally arrived back in Scotland, Mary’s beauty and regal bearing were even more remarkable than they had been when she left as the child-queen. Her charming manner and eagerness to love and be loved endeared her to many, but were in stark contrast to what she saw as the rough manners of the Scots. Her loyalty to Catholicism also separated her from her countrymen, many of whom were followers of the dynamic and bold Protestant preacher John Knox. Though she brought with her French furnishings and companions to make her apartments into a “Little France,” she would have to rely on the Scottish Court—a group comprised of her half brother, members of feuding Scottish clans, and English spies—to educate her in the ways of Scottish politics. However wise or corrupt her advisors, however, Mary often followed the dictates of her own heart—to her own peril.

Вражаюча історія про силу та слабкість королеви!

Книга "Королівська дорога до Фотерінгея" - це захоплююча подорож у світ політичних інтриг, особистих жертв і романтичних переживань Марії Стюарт. Автор майстерно передає атмосферу французького двору, описуючи розкіш, манери та емоції, які оточують юну королеву. Читач має можливість спостерігати за її трансформацією з дитини в зрілу жінку, яка намагається знайти своє місце в світі, де влада та кохання часто йдуть поруч. Особливо вражає, як автор показує внутрішні конфлікти Мері, її боротьбу за визнання та любов, а також її вірність католицизму в умовах протестантської Шотландії. Книга не лише розважає, але й змушує задуматися про роль жінки в історії та політиці. Незважаючи на деякі недоліки в перекладі, загальне враження від читання залишається позитивним. Рекомендую всім, хто цікавиться історією та сильними жіночими персонажами!
