After Lady Jane was betrayed by her former fiancé, she has lost interest in men. To make matters worse, her father has squandered the family fortune and Jane is forced to work to earn a living. She is commissioned by Charles Wellington, Earl of Southwell, as a governess for the two six-year-old twin daughters who have set themselves the task of rejecting any governess who applies.

Lady Jane Grey by Eric Ives Pdf

Lady Jane Grey, is one of the most elusive and tragic characters in English history. In July 1553 the death of the childless Edward VI threw the Tudor dynasty into crisis. On Edward's instructions his cousin Jane Grey was proclaimed queen, only to be ousted 13 days later by his illegitimate half sister Mary and later beheaded. In this radical reassessment, Eric Ives rejects traditional portraits of Jane both as hapless victim of political intrigue or Protestant martyr. Instead he presents her as an accomplished young woman with a fierce personal integrity. The result is a compelling dissection by a master historian and storyteller of one of history’s most shocking injustices.

Lady Jane Grey by Alison Plowden Pdf

Jane Grey’s tragedy was her royal blood. As Henry VIII’s great-niece she stood perilously close to the throne and from early childhood was used as a pawn in the deadly power game of Tudor politics. Jane was not happy at home – she once famously remarked that she thought herself in hell in her parents’ company – and sought consolation in her studies and the uncompromising Protestantism fashionable in the l550s. When it became clear that her cousin Edward VI was dying she was forced into marriage with a son of the powerful John Dudley Duke of Northumberland and confronted with the news that the king had made her his heir. So began her reign as the Nine Days Queen, leading to her imprisonment in the Tower and execution at the age of sixteen. Alison Plowden reveals with insight and skill the complex intensity of the woman behind the myth, the brilliantly gifted child who was developing into a passionate, forceful young woman.

Where Lawyers Fear to Tread by Lia Matera Pdf

A San Francisco student’s about to discover law school can be murderous in this comic mystery series opener. Willa Jansson picked the wrong time to quit smoking. Exams are four weeks away. And if she’s not sitting in class, studying, or sipping innumerable cups of coffee, then she’s toiling away as the senior articles editor at the Malhousie Law Review. This job, and being in the top 10 percent of her class, means she’ll be able to land her dream job when she graduates. But at the moment, she has an even bigger problem to deal with . . . After Malhousie’s editor in chief, super-student Susan Green, is found bludgeoned to death, strangers—curious reporters, angry professors, and high-profile lawyers—keep snooping around the office. Then another editor fights to take Susan’s position, only to meet the same grisly end. Willa knows she must find out quickly who’s killing her fellow students and why—because, as the new editor in chief, she could be next . . . Praise for the Willa Jansson Mysteries “Willa Jansson is one of the most articulate and surely the wittiest of women sleuths at large in the genre.” —The New York Times Book Review “Readers will be shaken by Matera’s rapier-sharp dissection of personal relationships and radical ideologies. Matera again demonstrates that she is one of today’s best mystery writers.” —Publishers Weekly
