What this book is about
Following the brief reign and execution of Lady Jane Grey, this Philippa Gregory novel follows her three sisters — each of whom navigated Elizabeth I's court with varying degrees of tragedy. Gregory's historical fiction is notable for centering the women beside the famous figures, and this novel draws on recent scholarship about the Grey sisters with her characteristic dramatic approach to Tudor history.
