A Tragic Love Story

This book has it all - history, political intrigue, sex, and death. The heartrending story of the life of Sophia Dorothea, Duchess of Brunswick-Celle and Princess of Hanover, unfolds in this spell binding book. Forced into an arranged marriage with her cousin, George Louis, the future King George I of Great Britain, Dorothea struggles against the restrictions placed upon her by the male-dominated European court society of the late 17th and early 18th centuries with tragic consequences. Ms. Lehr does an excellent job of bringing this world to life, infusing the right amount of historically significant events while simultaneously entertaining the reader.
