A review by monicabhills
The Italian Woman by Jean Plaidy

3.0

This was the second in the trilogy about Catherine de Medici. This novel also told the story from Jeanne of Navarre. It gave a very interesting look at this French family and especially Catherine de Medici. I always finish these types of books feeling grateful that I am alive now and not any time in history. Women just have a horrible lot in life. However Catherine was a truly horrible person. This novel was not my favorite. I did enjoy the first book more. I own the third book so I will read that one but I hope it is a little better than this one. Not a bad book just didn't love it.
