Book Reviews of Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey
Book Review: Ann Rinaldi has done it again...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ann Rinaldi never disappoints--Nine Days a Queen was another excellent novel.
An interesting aspect is that it was written in the first person, as if Lady Jane Grey's ghost is telling the story. This point of view makes the reader sympathize more with Lady Jane.
Through this book, I learned some less-known facts about the Tudor period. I could relate to Lady Jane, and found myself in tears at many parts of the book.
This is a must for Ann Rinaldi fans, and fans of the Tudor period.
Summary of Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey
I had freckles.
I had sandy hair. I was too short.
Would my feet even touch the ground if I sat on the throne?
These are the words of lady Jane Grey, as imagined by celebrated author Ann Rinaldi. Jane would become Queen of England for only nine days before being beheaded at the age of sixteen.
Here is a breathtaking story of English royalty with its pageantry, privilege, and surprising cruelty. As she did in her previous novel Mutiny's Daughter, Ms. Rinaldi uses powerful, evocative writing to bring to life a teenage girl caught in the grip of stirring times.
