"This book never fails to intrigue me and touch me to my core. The characters, the philosophies, theories and life lessons are abundant and stunningly simple, too. And the best gift literature could have given us actors is the concept of doing it “for the fat lady.”"

Book Rating
The Lady of Misrule is a fictional account of Lady Jane Grey's incarceration in the Tower of London from the perspective of her companion, Elizabeth.

Suzannah Dunn emphasises Jane's innocence and the ludicrous reasons for her imprisonment. At a time when changes in religion were causing death and unrest, it was a crime merely to think a different way to the monarch, let alone be a "pretender" queen.

Despite the narrative, there was nothing the author could do to avoid its foregone conclusion. What is shocking, however, is the unexpected suddenness of the event, Jane's pious strength and the devastating shock felt by Elizabeth.

Dangerous Lady ( Maura Ryan 1)
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No one thinks a 17-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - and she's determined not to be hurt again, which makes her one very dangerous lady.


This is brutal! It’s a reminder of how brutal Martians early books were! This is a reminder that family values have consequences the mistakes we make as humans and as mothers have the effect on our children, especially in a hard environment. I love her work especially these earlier books.
