Review: Not my time era but very good writing

It's not a Lady Julia or Lady Emily but the characters and story are full bodied. The history and romance is there in abundance but I found myself skimming through much of the chapters because I find the Elizabethan age too depressing for my tastes and prefer the Victorian and Edwardian eras where many social norms were being questioned and challenged. "The times they are a changing" (Bob Dylan) in the Victorian/Edwardian age is more my speed so the Elizabethan setting of this box set is the only reason I gave it 3 stars and not 4 or 5 because the writing really is very good. If you love the Elizabethan age you'd most likely give it 4 or 5 stars.
