Delightful read!

Not too long of a book, but you probably won't want to put it down. It brings a story to life from English history that we don't hear that much about, and yet, it seems like it is a story that needs to be told. You will enjoy this book if you like historical fiction of the Henry VIIIth variety!

This is an amazing story of Lady Jane Grey. If you love Tudor history, this book is for you. I knew very little about the life of Lady Jane Grey before reading Innocent Traitor. After reading it, I researched the life of this tragic figure. I was delighted to find that Allison Weir's facts were accurate. While reading this book, I felt that I got to know Lady Jane Grey and understood the hardships she was faced to endure. I thought about her story days after completing the novel. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Very good

Fills us in on some of the goings-on between the death of Henry VIII and the reign of (following Edward and Mary) Elizabeth I. Good along the same lines as Phillipa Gregory's "The Other Boleyn Girl".

A GREAT BOOK!!!

This was the first book by Alison Weir that I've read and I am DEFINITELY going to be reading more of her work! I was intrigued by the idea of a novel about Lady Jane Grey and am so happy to say that this book surpassed all of my expectations! It was interesting to follow the story from the points of view of different characters, most of whom are greedy and self-serving, with the exception of Jane herself. She, and her governess, are the only sympathetic characters in the story which makes it all the more tragic. I found myself sobbing at the end for this poor girl of 16 who lost her life because of the ambition of others. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with even a slight interest in Tudor histoy, but would also suggest that they keep a box of tissues handy as they near the end.
