A very enjoyable book which I read straight through, from an author whose books I follow. ( Just finished Thyra also, also terrific)
Elizabeth Seymour is a recent widow with two children, when she comes to court as a lady-in-waiting to her sister Jane Seymour who has married Henry VIII. These are very unsettled times as Anne Boleyn was executed just prior to her sister's marriage to Henry.
Elizabeth Seymour, who was Jane's younger sister tries her best to serve her sister while trying to provide for her own very young children,who are in their grandfather Lord Ughtred's care.
She comes to the attention of Thomas Cromwell and meets and likes his son Gregory. Apparently Cromwell thinks she would be a fine match for his son and she is agreeable to the match.
Her life goes on as her Sister's comes to an end. She and Gregory Cromwell had a happy marriage but not lengthy marriage and five children resulted. Very nicely done!
