This is a very deeply and sensitive book, all characters are more or less shown in a sympathetic light and without prejudice. Gloves were hand made and such a personal item, I found that very touching. I am sorry I didn’t cry at the end, only one book ever made me cry, but the little touches during Jane’s last moments are deeply saddening and moving, particularly when she removes her gloves and hands them to one of her ladies. First of all, thanks for sharing a lovely and moving review of one of the better books on Lady Jane Grey.
