I finished reading this book today (12/16). King Leontea is jealous of his wife Hermione, thinking she is having an affair with his best friend Polixenes. The Queen dies (from complications of childbirth and the burden of her trial) and her daughter, Perdita is exiled from the kingdom. Perdita falls in love and marries Polixenes' son Florizel reconciling the families together again.
