About this listen

Mary Boleyn was the mistress of two kings, Francois I of France and Henry VIII of England, and sister to Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife. In this astonishing and riveting biography, Alison Weir’s extensive research gives a new and detailed portrayal, in which she recounts that, contrary to popular belief, Mary was entirely undeserving of her posthumous notoriety as a great whore.

Alison books are always good. We'll written and researched. I guess my only issue, the same issue with many historical books is that much is supposition. Well narrated.

Great as always

This is a very interesting listen and has been well researched. however sometimes too much information to be a relaxing listen.

such an interesting story

The book itself is great, as with all Alison Weir. What I do dislike about this particular one is the very 'stagey' or 'hammy' voice of the reader when reading the quotes. I find this very off putting and quite unnecessary.

Over dramatic reading

I had hoped for some more certain insist into the life of Mary. This book has a little bit too much speculation for me. But it is a good book read very well.

Good considering the lack of available information

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Too much detail about irrelevant people and not enough real substance. There’s as much information on Wikipedia.
Narrator is annoying using deeper tones for men, but it does not work.
