Margaret George and historical fiction

There are two things you need to be prepared with Margaret George:

1. marathon reading as none of her books is shorter than 800 pages; and

2. change your perspective regarding her main protagonists (Nero of ancient Rome, Helen of Troy, Mary of Magdalene, Cleopatra, King Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots) as she can create vividly sympathetic portrayals of highly controversial figures in history.
