Publisher's Summary:

Lady Jane Grey was born into the most dangerous of times. Child of a scheming father and a ruthless mother for whom she was a pawn in a dynastic game with the highest stakes, she lived a life in thrall to political machinations and lethal religious fervour.

Growing up with the future Queen Elizabeth and her reluctant nemesis, Mary, she soon learned the truth of the values imparted to her by Henry VIII's last Queen, Katherine Parr. Her honesty, intelligence and strength of character carried her through all the vicious twists of Tudor power politics to her nine-day reign and its unbearably poignant conclusion.

Critic Reviews:

"Alison Weir provides immense satisfaction. She writes in a pacy, vivid style, engaging the heart as well as the mind." (The Independent)

History brought to life

Other novels by the author have touched on the tragic life of Lady Jane Grey, but this book gives a detailed account of her story interwoven with the events surrounding her short time on this earth. Descriptions of historical events and the actions of the main players of the Tudor period are enlivened by the authors imagination in creating possible conversations and experiences creating a narrative akin to a drama. Although we know Janes eventual fate the story leading up to it is gripping and saddening. A precociously clever girl wishing only for a quiet, studious life, but who had to suffer having an abusive, monster of a mother and be used as a pawn in the ambitions of her parents and other aristocrats vying for power and influence. It was tough being a well-born girl in those days!

I greatly enjoyed this entertaining and educational approach to history.

The narrator does a great job of dramatising the imagined dialogue with her facility in creating voices for different ages, sexes and social classes.

historical marval

very much enjoyed this book. the narration was of a high standard.

Fabulous book

I love history books including historical fiction. I knew the story of Lady Jane Grey from studying at school but this story really brings it home just how weird that particular point of history got. Touring and frying of religious zealots on both sides proves how divisive religion can be, leading to death destruction of both people and, almost, nations. A wonderful read.

great story...

I am normally a Phillipa Gregory reader , but thoroughly enjoyed this book . with the chopping and changing of characters you couldn't afford to lose concentration for a moment.but a great listen
