Mistress of the Vatican: The True Story of Olimpia Maidalchini: The Secret Female Pope by Eleanor HermanMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
How could I not be attracted to a book about a "Papessa" (lady pope)? The writing is a bit breathless and I question whether some of the conclusions are just extrapolitions. But this is basically "Pulp Fiction" of the 17th Century Vatican. Can't really recommend it much though.
