Life is good under the regime of Elizabeth I\u2019s Protestant government, but Catholics suffer. When Sir Edward Latham, a young Catholic courtier, leaves behind his home and country to serve the Catholic monarch, Mary, the Queen of Scots, he has no idea what fate has in store for him. With love for his beloved country ripe, Edward finds himself becoming a double agent for Spain and England. Goldberg\u2019s portrayal of the reigning English monarch and her court rings with authenticity. Infused with the sights, sounds, and smells of Renaissance England, the narrative moves at a smooth pace. The novel is expertly paced, with many surprises and shocking twists. Goldberg\u2019s prose is rich as it evokes the conflicting passions of her young hero and the mysterious, often sinister, world of shadowy political machinations. Intricate, tight plotting, richly drawn atmosphere, and an unpretentious but literate writing style make it a page-turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Reversible Mask: An Elizabethan Spy Novel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Loretta Goldberg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MadeGlobal Publishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reversible-Mask-Elizabethan-Spy-Novel-ebook\/dp\/B07J5W4Z85\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date May 24, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN&nbsp; 978-8494853951<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $21.99 (USD) Paperback, $3.13 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lush, inspired, and provocative\u2026 A spellbinding tale.
