Outside of who Lady Jane Grey marries, the rest of this book is fiction. ![]() ![]() if I had known a bit more of this time period's history, I could have answered the second question without having read the book. Would the present day Jane save her marriage and find out who she is? Will Lady Jane Grey find happiness in the one she loves or will her parents arrange a marriage of convenience? I was engrossed in the story quickly and couldn't wait to see how the book ended. ![]() This was my first book by Susan Meissner and I enjoyed it. ![]()
