Oh my goodness! Anyone that knows me knows this is exactly my kind of book. I have been an Anglophile for over 10 years and whenever I can find a book, fiction or nonfiction, on this area of the world I sink right into it.
Unfortunately this also means that I take my time in reading it as I want to absorb all the details. Prisoner of the Queen took me in from the first page. Eliza Knight has accurately told the story of Katherine Grey, the sister to Jane Grey who is known as the Nine-Days Queen. She did this without sounding like a lecture. Instead she was able to offer a new perspective on some of the queens and on life at court. Katherine is thought to be a threat to the Crown but instead she just wants to be with Edward Seymour.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys the Tudor time period. I was given this book by NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
