Lives of Wives

In a controlling polygamous sect, Calli Miller struggles with her predetermined path while remembering her aunt Leah's escape. She faces a critical choice between submission and dangerous freedom.

Illustrated in a sweep of colourful episodes, this volume contains the stories of England's monarchs, spanning ten great dynasties, from the invading Normans of 1066 to the House of Windsor. Antonia Fraser introduces this pageant of royalty, and eight contributors examine the complex characters of both well-loved figures such as Victoria and little-known sovereigns such as Richard III.
