This ``unpretentious romp'' through Tudor England follows sensuous, fiery Blaze Wyndham, who, newly widowed, seeks diversion at the court of Henry VIII. Soon she becomes the king's mistress, friend and adviser. PW commented upon this novel's ``cast of beauteous women, lusty men, pages of elaborate costume description and speedy tempo.'' (Nov.)
