A fascinating tale concerning two women of high birth, separated by time but linked by the most famous murder mystery in history: the Princes in the Tower. Lady Katherine Grey lived in Queen Elizabeth's time whereas Kate Plantagenet was the bastard daughter of Richard 111. The author very cleverly alternates between the two periods of history and the fates of the two ladies. A mixture of tragedy and love, showing how both periods were hard on anyone not conforming.
