arent t the same as Jean Plaidy on this reading But maybe, as i read a few recents books about Isabella of Castile, Juana and Catherine of Aragon, so my thinkings about them, doesn t agree much with what were written on Daughters of Spain I don t see Isabella as a caring mother For me, she was always worried about how to extend her reign So, yes, she used her daughters for that Catherine of

revisionist, feminist, or jazzed up version of her characters It doesn t mean her characters are boring As the title suggests, the focus here is not so much on Isabella, but on the lives of her children We don t see Isabella as a ruler so much which was a bit disappointing to me we see...Fue un poco tortuoso terminar la ltima entrega de esta saga Conforme avanza la historia se percibe la

instalment of Jean Plaidy s Isabella and Ferdinand trilogy is set during the 1490s and opening years of the 1500s.As the title implies, this novel focuseson the Spanish sovereigns daughters, of which

with beginning earlier, when Isabella Junior initially returned from Portugal, or before she went I think it was very clever the way Juana s illness was discussed through Isabella s eyes, rather than

really enjoy reading Jean Plaidy, especially when the weather gets warmer Her books make excellent outdoor reading.This book chronicles the life of the children of Ferdinand and Isabella Even though
