The Sisters Who Would Be Queen by Leanda de LisleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
De Lisle guides us through the life of the tragic three Grey sisters. These women all died either in captivity or were executed by the formidable Mary I. Jane was legally the rightful queen of England but this was a time when it took more than legal assertion to occupy the throne and Mary just had the right stuff. Katherine Grey was the beautiful woman who married for love and Mary the hunchback who married the tallest man in the court. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the period.
