Waiting on Wednesday (102): Ladies in Waiting by Laura L. Sullivan

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Ladies in Waiting by Laura L. Sullivan 
Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books
Publish Date: May 8, 2012

Publisher's Description
Eliza dreams of being a playwright for the king’s theater, where she will be admired for her witty turns of phrase rather than her father’s wealth.

Beth is beautiful as the day but poor as a church mouse, so she must marry well, despite her love for her childhood sweetheart.

Zabby comes to England to further her scientific studies—and ends up saving the life of King Charles II. Soon her friendship with him becomes a dangerous, impossible obsession. Though she knows she should stay away from the young, handsome king, Charles has a new bride, Queen Catherine, and a queen needs ladies in waiting.

And so Zabby, Beth, and Eliza, three Elizabeths from very different walks of life, find themselves at the center of the most scandal-filled court that England has ever seen.

*I'm liking historical fiction more and more as of late.  I love how scandalous this one sounds! - Jessica

  10. Historical fiction is usually a miss with me unless somebody can do it VERY well. I'm reading an HF right now and I can barely tell myself to get the ereader and read it. I am just not liking it at all.

    but I love this cover. It's gorgeous and sounds fun.
