This moving tale of Juana la Loca (the Mad) vividly re-creates the passion, politics, and betrayals that drove a smart and spirited queen to the brink of insanity... or perhaps, as C. W. Gortner suggests, to the pretense of insanity --- a pretense that baffled Juana's enemies and led to triumph for her children and her country. THE LAST QUEEN is an absorbing account of one of history's most fascinating women, from her never-before-told point of view. |

I ached for this intelligent, one-of-a-kind queen. Her struggle and passion kept me up until the early hours of the morning. A page-turner, a nail-biter, an eye-opener: I loved being possessed by THE LAST QUEEN! |
