But Lady Jane has remarkable qualities that help her to withstand the constant pressures of the royal machinery far better than most expect. Cousin to Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, she is merely a pawn in a political and religious game in which one false step means a certain demise. The child of a scheming father and ruthless mother, Jane is born during a time when ambition dictates action. Now with ‘Innocent Traitor,’ Weir utilizes her vast knowledge and captivating narrative style to craft her first historical novel, choosing Lady Jane Grey, the most sympathetic heroine of Tudor England, as her enthralling subject. New York Times best-selling author Alison Weir has earned her reputation as the preeminent historian of British royalty. ![]() My (2013) rating: 4 stars (story), 4.5 stars (audio performance) Audiobook performed by Stina Nielsen, Davina Porter, Bianca Amato, Jenny Sterlin, Jill Tanner, Gerard Doyle, and Robert Ian Mackenzie ![]() ![]() ![]() No sexist, demeaning, objectifying language Please use dedicated subs such as /r/dating_advice or /r/relationshipsĤ.Matters primarily relating to mental health and illness (medications, therapy, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, etc) should be posted in a topic-specific subreddit: /r/depression, /r/anxiety, /r/socialanxiety, /r/selfesteem, /r/suicidewatch, etc. We are not a mental health support sub.All posts must directly relate to the acquisition and/or application of social skills ![]() Posts and comments should be made in good faith.Ģ.Rediquette and conduct in accord with the site-wide Reddit Content Policy is expected and a requirement of participation.Official /r/socialskills Discord server!
