    Mesmerizing!
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017*

Even students of British history who know how this story ends will find this fictionalized version (that is solidly based on historical facts) a riveting and even mesmerizing read. Author Alison Weir masterfully tells the life story of Jane Grey, known as the nine-day queen of England. The great-niece of King Henry VIII, Jane was the eldest of three daughters in a time when only sons were wanted. She was physically and emotionally abused by her mother, but found solace in books and learning--highly unusual for a young girl of these times. But her life only gets worse. When her marriage is consummated, she is brutally raped by her husband.The entire book is written in the first person but from the viewpoint of several people, including Lady Jane Grey; Mrs. Ellen, her loving and trusted nursemaid; Frances Grey, Duchess of Suffolk, Jane's hateful mother; Queen Katherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII who took an interest in Jane; and John Dudley, the man who wrested the crown, albeit temporarily, from Princess Mary, the rightful heir.The book is filled with the gossip, intrigue and conspiracies of court life with such vivid descriptions that the story just pops--making you feel as if you're living in the middle of it. In the author's note at the end of the book, Alison Weir writes: "It is my sincere hope that the story that has unfolded in these pages has both enthralled and appalled you, the reader." It did both magnificently.

    Good novel of Lady Jane Grey's short life
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017*

I've read several of Alison Weir's non-fiction books and have liked them very much.  This one, "Innocent Traitor:: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey" is her debut into historical fiction.  The story of King Henry VIII's great-niece, Lady Jane Grey, is an interesting although sad one.  The times in which she lived were turbulent in England and who would be the heir to the throne was always uppermost in royalty's minds.  Henry VIII's son, Edward, was king for a short time until his death from tuberculosis.  Lady Jane's parents had made an attempt to groom Jane for court life, but Jane was more interested in studying and reading along with her devotion to her Protestant faith..  Jane's father was ambitious for her and her mother was physically and verbally abusive and spent her time at court rather than with her family.  She was in hopes of seeing Jane married to Edward the king, but Jane wasn't all that interested at the age of 14.  She was forced into a marriage by her mother with another young man that she had no desire for.The story of Lady Jane Grey's short nine days as queen is brought to life by the author.  Each chapter is narrated by a different character, and although some of the incidents in the book are fictitious, the history itself and characters are all accurate.  If you like Tudor history this is a good book, although Lady Jane Grey's short life ended tragically.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A "Can't Put it Down" book.
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017*

My library has many of Alison Weir's books of history, but I was looking for a "first novel" by someone who writes history.Lady Jane Grey is one of the Brit rulers of whom very little has been written, so with a touch of fiction she fills in the spaces and turns poor Lady Jane into a realistic personage.  No research has been spared to do this, and like a few other history novelists, at the end of the book she explains where fiction was needed to flesh out the story.
