A Great Novel About Queen Anne!
A Want of Kindness chronicles the life of Anne Stuart, just before she is named queen. Anne was never meant to be queen. Her father was a duke, and her uncle was Charles II. She also had an older sister named Mary. However, due to unforeseen events, one of which she led a betrayal of her father, Anne rises to be a princess and an heiress of England. This historical novel follows Anneâs personal tragedy and triumphs as the reader learns the true cost of what it means to be queen.
In the beginning of the novel, ten year old Anne is a sickly child. Yet, she loves to have fun. She likes acting, playing cards, sweets, and gossip. While Anne still loves to indulge in these pastimes, as she gets older she becomes more mature. She is often faced with hard choices and personal tragedy. Anne is also a strong Protestant. It is her Protestantism that makes her choose to betray her father. However, it is also her faith that consoles her when she has to deal with her personal tragedy, such as the deaths of her children.
Overall, the author writes an in-depth psyche about Queen Anne and her motives. Queen Anne is a complex woman, yet it seems that she was a strong woman in the face of many hardships and obstacles. With meticulous research, the author did a great job portraying the times of Queen Anne. She made her times come alive. The author incorporates and includes real primary sources into her story. Because of this, the reader can have an insight into who Anne actually was. This novel is full of political intrigue and drama. Lovers of historical fiction will devour novel novel up for it will appeal to fans of C.W. Gortner, Philippa Gregory, Jean Plaidy, and Allison Pataki.
(Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)

I have read extensively about Queen Anne Stuartâs reign, so I borrowed Limburgâs A Want of Kindness - paperback - from the library in the U.K, and began it with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, when I read the first chapters my enthusiasm waned. Although I appreciate Limburgâs research, I donât appreciate the style in which the novel is written.
Instead of allowing Anne to have her own voice, Limburg tells the reader about Anne. This distanced me from the main characters, so I put the no
