Elizabethan England: Many Parts to Play book cover

Elizabethan England

Many Parts to Play

Cordelia and Oliver’s comfortable life in a quiet rural English village is shattered when their father dies, and a cruel uncle arrives to take charge. Rescued by an aunt, Cordelia is whisked away to the busy city of London. But for Cordelia, there are still challenges to overcome, especially when it comes to learning how to be a lady in Elizabethan England—which seems to involve wearing suffocating clothes, silly hats, and even sillier makeup. But perhaps there’s another option—an unimaginable one. What if Cordelia becomes someone else entirely? What then?
