Waiting on Wednesday (#3)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill@Breaking the Spine. It allows us to introduce some upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

Prisoners in the Palace by Michaela MacColl
Published: 01 September 2010
Description (from Goodreads):
Prisoners in the Palace -- London, 1838. Sixteen-year-old Liza's dreams of her society debut are dashed when her parents are killed in an accident. Penniless, she accepts the position of lady's maid to young Princess Victoria and steps unwittingly into the gossipy intrigue of the servant's world below-stairs as well as the trickery above. Is it possible that her changing circumstances may offer Liza the chance to determine her own fate, find true love, and secure the throne for her future queen?

Meticulously based on newly discovered information, this riveting novel is as rich in historical detail as Catherine, Called Birdy, and as sizzling with intrigue as The Luxe.
