"Sixteen-year-old Jane Grey is a quiet and obedient young lady destined to become the shortest reigning English monarch. Her beautiful middle sister Katherine Grey charms all the right people--until loyalties shift. And finally Lady Mary Grey, a dwarf with a twisted spine whose goal is simply to protect people she loves--but at a terrible cost. In an age in which begetting sons was all that mattered and queens rose and fell on the sex of their child, these three girls with royal Tudor blood lived under the dangerous whims of parents with a passion for gambling. The stakes they would wager: their daughters' lives against rampant ambition"-- Cover verso.

Ella March Chase walks us through the lives of the Grey sisters, from the disastrous marriages of the older two sisters through the insecurities of the younger sister. Three women with royal blood, who went against convention. Jane would have been happy to live in a small house surrounded by her books and tutors, while Katherine wanted attention and to be married to a nobleman with people admiring her. Mary was one who stayed in the shadows, hidden by her parents because of her deformity. Ms. Chase reads between the lines of their lives and breathes new life into the story of the Lady Jane Grey, the nine day queen, and her family. From palaces to the Tower, this books keeps the reader riveted.
Great read! I would recommmend this!
