But the people should have been careful what they wished for: Mary&#8217;s mission is to turn back time to an England of old. Within weeks there is widespread rebellion in favour of her heir, her half-sister, princess Elizabeth, who is everything that Mary isn&#8217;t. From now on, Elizabeth will have to use her considerable guile just to stay alive.<\/p>\n<p>Orphan Alys Twist has come a long way &#8211; further than she ever dared hope &#8211; to work as a laundress at the royal Wardrobe. There she meets Bel, daughter of the Queen&#8217;s tailor, and seems to have arrived at her own happy ending.<\/p>\n<p>But in a world where appearance is everything, a laundress is in a unique position to see the truth of people&#8217;s lives, and Alys is pressed into service as a spy in the errant princess&#8217;s household. Alys herself, though, is hardly whiter than white, and when the princess is arrested she must make a dangerous choice.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Testimony-Alys-Twist-Suzannah-Dunn\/dp\/1408707209\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&#038;qid=1609357495&#038;sr=1-2\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">From Amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlebrown.co.uk\/little-brown-news\/2020\/08\/21\/read-an-exciting-extract-from-the-testimony-of-alys-twist\/\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">Further details &#8211; Little Brown<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Testimony-Alys-Twist-Suzannah-Dunn\/dp\/1408707209\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&#038;qid=1609357495&#038;sr=1-2\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">Further details &#8211; Amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;1553: deeply-divided England rejoices as the rightful heir, Mary Tudor, sweeps to power on a tide of populist goodwill.
