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)

Such an unlikable character

An Innocent Traitor offers an intriguing portrayal of historical events through the lens of various characters, which adds depth to the narrative. The book stays true to historical facts, making it compelling from a historical standpoint. However, relating to Lady Jane Grey proved challenging. Her sense of superiority and constant portrayal of herself as a victim made it difficult to empathize with her. Her relentless insistence on her own virtues and victimhood overshadowed the development of other characters. By the end, her fate was met with a sense of closure rather than sympathy.
