Edward placed her in succession ahead of his sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, and ahead of Jane's mother (Henry's sister's daughter). Jane was queen for only nine days. This fictional account of her life shows Jane as someone who always wanted, but never seemed to attain, her mother's approval. For part of her life, Jane grew up alongside Elizabeth, in the household of Catherine Parr, Henry VIII's widow, and Thomas Seymour, Catherine's new husband and Jane's guardian. In this novel, Jane does fall in love before she is married to another man. Jane was blindsided when, after Edward died, her family, her new husband's family, and those in power wanted to proclaim her queen. Jane has always been my favourite Tudor; her story is so tragic that I am in tears every time I read something about her, even though I know the outcome. So, no surprise that I really liked this book. I liked the entire book, and I did enjoy the love story before her marriage, but the book really picked up for me after she got married. no reviews | add a review
