Format:Paperback
I have read many historical novels about Anne Boleyn and this is by far the best. Jean Plaidy is a very clever writer because she manages to evoke the relationships between the characters and still create a feeling of historical accuracy. Out of all the created 'Anne Boleyns' this one stands out as how I like to believe she really was; spirited, intelligent, moral and alluring. The way Plaidy weaves the lives of the two cousins together is an original approach to the telling of the six wives tale. It's an excellent book to curl up with on holiday!

Jean Plaidy has made an art of making history come alive. She has a way of painting pictures to illustrate all her words hence one finds themselves being transported in time and becoming a fly on the wall, listening in to all of the comings and goings. This is truly Anne Boleyns side of her story, much has been written of this exceptional woman in numerous works dedicated to Henry VIII. But this is her book, in her words. One gets a true flavour of the ambitions of the noble classes to climb the social ladder of the day, with little if no scruples. Simultaneously the book tells the story of Anne's cousin, Katherine Howard who would later become Henry's fifth wife. Riveting read.

This is a superb piece of historical fiction. Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard truly come alive in these pages. It is easy to read and yet fairly historically accurate which means it appeals to the general reader as well as those with a deep historical interest in the Tudors. Very good!

All in all - nice historical book, not that I was absulutely impressed, I like the period drama, this is good but nothing new or fascinating about it.

Boring
I found this book very boring despite the potentially facinating subject and not at all well written. Read more

A lovely tale of deceit and death.
Being a historical romance/fiction buff, this book rocks. Jean Plaidy will be sorely missed, but her writing will keep on going. Read more
