A tragedy of history

I didn't know I could read a story about a foreign queen in English. She is a real person in history. It's not hard to read. But I have to say I don't like this story. Maybe because the story was written in 1997 (?). The Queen is a poor woman. If she wasn't Queen, maybe she could be happy, but maybe she couldn't. She couldn't have known her husbands or her people. She just felt so helpless. Era, environment and character caused her tragedy together.
