1571: Elisabeth I. reigns and Mary Grey is furious. She is 26, of stunted growth, claims the right to the throne and has run out of patience. For years, she has been under house arrest. Her husband, her sisters and her parents are dead, some of them executed. Mary Grey wants to regain control over her life, but nothing happens. Instead of silently accepting her fate, she rebels against the royal court system and its oppression. In Wie Ihr wollt, Inger-Maria Mahlke has written a thrilling as well as funny novel about power and despotism – a narrative of today’s day and age dressed up in historical fact. In German.
