The Nine-Day Queen follows 15-year-old Lena and Rita.
When an attack puts Lena in a coma, Rita sits by her side for nine days. Wracked by survivor’s guilt and overcome by rage and grief, she hallucinates the ghost of Lady Jane Grey.
For nine days, Rita and Jane teach each other to be brave in a world where women’s bravery can feel futile.
