Another review pointed out the parallels with Elizabeth I and Henry VIII and that just blew my mind. It totally is Tudor drama set in 1920s rural Virginia. It’s a great book and would make an amazing movie. I think what keeps me from giving 5 stars is the slow beginning and the narration on the audiobook. All the characters sounded the same and it wasn’t really well acted, sorry. It was impossible to tell when something was being thought by Sallie or being said aloud which led to some confusion.
