Maria Pia - Queen of Portugal
by Sabrina Pollock
2015, Hardbound, 174 pages, 87 illustrations [in English] |
A biography of a complicated lady and Queen, a mass of contradictions. She had a temper, but was not a scold. She was as extravagant as she was charitable. She was intimidating; she was emotionally fragile. This goes on and on ...
The author tries to give a more turthful picture of this much maligned Queen and the country she was sent to when only 15. Fascinating throughout!
