jennpellecchia 's review for:
L'innocente
by Alison Weir
This took a while to get interesting. There are multiple narrators, and, early on, when Jane is about 3, each section felt like a giant information dump. Jane is about the most articulate three-year-old ever, which made me roll my eyes. However, she's incredibly well-educated, and convincingly feminist later in the book - which is so long that, by the end, I had forgiven some of its early weaknesses :)
The biggest plus is that I've always wanted to know more about Lady Jane Grey, and now I think I know about as much as I'm going to, as Alison Weir is such an accomplished historian. If you're not intensely fascinated with British history, you may want to skip this.
