I really tried to like this book because it was recommended and given to me by a friend. I was about 200 pages into it, when I had to give it up. I found it flat, slow moving, and hard to follow because the story is told from the viewpoint of several people, but unless you go back and look at the section headings, it is hard to know who is speaking.

I understand there were problems between Catholics and Protestants at this time, but being a practicing Catholic, I found it hard to read Lady Jane's negative beliefs about the Euchrist and the Mass that seemed to be so prominant throughout the parts of the book I read.

At this time, I am not planning to read any other books by this author.
