Lady in Waiting by Susan Meissner

4.0

I was concerned about this book. The cover looks like an historical romance or something and it is about Lady Jane Grey, but fiction. Anyone that knows me well, knows I love Lady Jane Grey. I wrote my senior capstone paper on her. I admire that she did not turn her back on her faith even if it could save her life. She had great faith to the end. This is why I am hesitant to read fiction based on her. This book switched back and forth between modern day Jane Lindsay and 16th century Lucy Day, dressmaker for Lady Jane Grey. I was pleasantly surprised. It did a good job and I had a hard time putting it down. One thing that I struggled with was that I would really get into one character's story and then it would switch. I had to stop myself from skipping ahead. That element was distracting each time it happened. Overall, though, I would recommend this book.
