Sinossi
La giovane e vivace Sancia di Aragona viene data in sposa a Goffredo Borgia: un matrimonio combinato per ampliare il potere di papa Rodrigo Borgia, Alessandro VI, che nella sua corrotta corte romana nutre il sogno ambizioso di dominare l'Italia. Giunta a Roma da Napoli, Sancia si trova circondata dalla grandezza della Città Eterna ma anche avviluppata in una stretta trama di intrighi, complotti e torbide relazioni. La temibile Lucrezia esperta di veleni, sua cognata, sarà sua alleata o nemica? E Cesare Borgia diventerà un amante appassionato o il suo peggior nemico? Tra delizie e pericoli, insidie e piaceri, Sancia - personaggio ispirato a una figura storica - intraprende il suo difficile cammino, scoprendo in sé doti che non sospettava di avere.

DNF'ed at 55%. Warning, there's a huge history rant in this review, but I'm so not apologising. Historical fiction has a lot of emphasis on fiction , and no book shows this more aptly than the trainwreck that is The Borgia Bride . Let me tell you the stark difference between this and other historical f Leggi tutto
One of my hobbies as a history student throughout high school and college was learning the sordid details of the corrupt ruling families of Europe. The Borgias of Italy were the epitome of fucked up, and I nearly peed myself when I saw the title of this novel at the bookstore. I enjoy historical fic Leggi tutto
4,5 ⭐ Hat mir wahnsinnig gut gefallen, stellenweise etwas langatmig und politisch, trotzdem ein grandioses Buch!
I've been debating whether I should give this book 3 or 4 stars and I've decided on 4 because I really can't think of anything that I didn't enjoy about it. I loved the writing style and the characters, or in the case of many in this novel, loved to hate them. This is my first time reading about the Leggi tutto
"Incest. Poison. Betrayal. Three wedding presents for the Borgia Bride." Ok, not exactly light hearted reading for a New Zealand beach holiday! But I was drawn to the very attractive cover anyway! I did enjoy the start where Sancha is portrayed as a boldly curious youngster. Once Sancha is married t Leggi tutto
