August 1571: Elizabeth I rules England, and her cousin Mary Grey is furious. She is twenty-six, very short of stature, and has a claim to the throne. She wants to be free, to have a household of her own and custody of her stepchildren. She gets none of it, and instead of accepting this quietly, she rebels and decides to write an account settling scores with the royal court. Doing so, she realises that her own actions and her family's were as arbitrary and unfree as everyone else's: world history seen from its blind spot, by a powerless woman trapped in her own body.
