The Borgia Bride
The Borgia Bride: A Novel | Jeanne Kalogridis
3 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
Vivacious Sancha of Aragon arrives in Rome newly wed to a member of the notorious Borgia dynasty. Surrounded by the city's opulence and political corruption, she befriends her glamorous and deceitful sister-in-law, Lucrezia, whose jealousy is as legendary as her beauty. Some say Lucrezia has poisoned her rivals, particularly those to whom her handsome brother, Cesare, has given his heart. So when Sancha falls under Cesare's irresistible spell, she must hide her secret or lose her life. Caught in the Borgias' sinister web, she summons her courage and uses her cunning to outwit them at their own game. Vividly interweaving historical detail with fiction, The Borgia Bride is a richly compelling tale of conspiracy, sexual intrigue, loyalty, and drama.

Pickpick

I quite liked this book. If you like historical fiction with a romance edge similar to Philippa Gregory, try this author. I chose it to give some historical context for our Italy trip coming up. The story gave me a good grounding of who the players were in Borgia-era Rome and a general understanding of the events. And yes I am doing some nonfiction reading as well.
