From the Publisher"Highly compelling [with] plenty to keep readers enthralled."—Historical Novel Review
"A page turner . . . too juicy to put down . . . Alison Weir's strong suit as a fiction writer is making her novels living history."—The Courier-Journal
"With its evident in-depth research and creative twists, this tale of two women trying to make sense of the power of the English crown . . . is nothing short of riveting."—Library Journal (starred review)
"No one alive knows as much about the Tudors as Weir. . . . Any reader of Hilary Mantel's excellent Tudor evocations will want to explore this book as well."—Kirkus Reviews
"Stunning . . . A richly layered cake of love, sex, danger, death, and mystery.
