Historical
Unfolding in the heady world of the glittering Restoration
court, A Want
of Kindness follows an expendable princess on her unlikely
progress to
becoming queen, through the religion, politics, disease,
deceit, and
treachery of the time.
The wicked, bawdy Restoration court is no place for a child
princess. Ten-
year-old Anne cuts an odd figure: a sickly child, she is
drawn towards
improper pursuits. Cards, sweetmeats, scandal, and gossip
with her Ladies
of the Bedchamber figure large in her life. But as King
Charles' niece,
Anne is also a political pawn, who will be forced to play
her part in the
troubled Stuart dynasty. Transformed from overlooked princess to the heiress of
England, she will
be forced to overcome grief for her lost children, the
political
maneuverings of her sister and her closest friends, and her
own betrayal
of her father, before the fullness of her destiny is
revealed. In A Want
of Kindness, Limburg has created a richly realized time and
world, and in
Anne, a complex and all-too-human protagonist.
