I'm going to go put this one on my wishlist on Goodreads. I really must read it! It is interesting about Jane Grey not being a helpless pawn, as she is usually portrayed. I'm currently reading Virgin and the Crab by Robert Parry and Jane is very much manipulated in that book, although she does remain personally opposed to the idea of being Queen and marrying Guildford Dudley.<br /><br />Great review Amy!Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552020989914140175.post-88811822929817427212010-07-20T20:13:15.865-04:002010-07-20T20:13:15.865-04:00The Tudor Queens were ruthless in their quest for ...The Tudor Queens were ruthless in their quest for power.
