![]() ![]() I’m currently re-listening to this, so here’s my original review from 2013: ![]() Weir’s striking novel sweeps readers back through the centuries to witness firsthand one of the most poignant tales from a time of constant scheming and power brokering. 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 ![]()
