About book Lady In Waiting (2010)

Loved this book and Susan is definitely one of my "new" favorite authors. I loved the tongue in cheek conversation between Present Jane and Wilson regarding Historical Fiction on Lady Jane Gray. "It's still Fiction". I liked the twist on the story that everyone thinks they know about Lady Jane and the fact that Susan doesn't discuss the parental abuse etc. Made me consider Jane as the girl and not the Protestant Martyr. Favorite quote:My mother, a dressmaker also - and a fine one - told me once that black is the color that whispers. Crimson shouts, yellow laughs, blue and green sing, white heralds, and violet woos. But black is always hushed, and at times silent. I asked her what does black whisper, and she told me when you are victorious, it whispers applause, and when you are grieved, it whispers condolences. What if you are neither? I asked. And she said that is when you wear a different color.
