In 1688, the birth of a Prince of Wales ignited a family quarrel and a revolution. Mary and Anne Stuart are the ungrateful daughters who usurped James II's crown and stole their brother's birthright. Maureen Waller recreates the late Stuart era, in a narrative that highlights the influence of three women in one of the most momentous events in our history: a palace coup that changed the face of the monarchy and signalled the end of a dynasty.
