Lita-Rose Betcherman

I thoroughly enjoyed this history of the lives of two aristocratic sisters in 17th century England. The book reads well and provides a little view into life under the Stuarts at that time.

This was an excellent scholarly work, while yet imminently readable. Betcherman follows the vastly different lives of two sisters during 17th century England, with one being immersed in Court life while the other centers her life around home matters. It is a fascinating read and very enlightening for those interesed in social history, women's history, 17th century British history, or any combination. I highly recommend it to the casual historian as well as to the more serious scholar.

Interesting source material, not the most interesting writing style.
