Carr has breathed new life and originality into an often romanticized historical figure. The Tower is a captivating and visceral read that immerses readers in the tower alongside the characters, reliving a royal family drama. Tracy Chevalier praises it as bold and immediate, stating that the women are imprisoned but not contained. In 1567, three women, one pregnant, embark on a journey to Lochleven castle, where they are met by courtiers eager to keep one of them under lock and key: Mary Queen of Scots.
Within the tower, Mary's maids, Frenchwoman Cuckoo and watchful Scot Jane, become her only allies, and the chamber their entire world. A new reality unfolds, where they are at the mercy of their keepers and the raging Scotland outside. Meanwhile, Mary's kin, Queen Elizabeth, feels powerless in the outside world, while the jailor-courtier Margaret Erskine assigns her daughter-in-law Agnes to serve as her pair of eyes. Hope seems lost until the enigmatic Lady Seton arrives, wielding her power to reshape the tower's dynamics. A plan is hatched, but who will risk everything to save their mistress? Whose love for their queen is unwavering?
The Tower is a triumphant tale of desire, resilience, divine power, and cunning, penned by a fresh and captivating voice in historical fiction. Carr's portrayal of Mary Queen of Scots and her intricate relationships within the tower is a testament to her storytelling prowess. This captivating novel will leave readers eagerly anticipating future works from this talented author.
