OLDER FICTION
Kolosov, Jacqueline

A Sweet Disorder

(4) YA Following her father's death, Miranda is sent to Queen Elizabeth I's court as the ward of a corrupt guardian. She uses her skills with a needle to draw the queen's attention, but sewing up the right marriage proposal proves trickier. Many of the characters are two-dimensional; Kolosov's vividly rendered portrait of courtly life, intrigue and all, is the book's strongest feature.
