About this listen

 One of history's most complex and alluring women, Anne Boleyn was irresistible to kings and commoners alike. Daughter of an ambitious country lord, Anne was sent to France to marry well and raise the family's fortunes. She soon surpassed even their greatest expectations when King Henry VIII swore he would put aside his loyal queen to make Anne his wife. And so he did, though the divorce would tear apart the English church and inflict religious turmoil and bloodshed on his people for generations to come.

Loathed by the English people, Anne was soon caught in the trap of her own ambition. When she failed to produce a much-desired male heir, her political rivals closed in, wrongfully accusing her of adultery and incest. Anne found herself imprisoned in the Tower of London, at the mercy of her husband and her enemies.

Enjoyed the story and the narrative, clear and an easy listen and interesting to think about this story from the lady’s side rather than the political side, I recommend this book

I believe history has wrongly discredited Anne Boleyn & if nothing else she gave England its church & her daughter, Elizabeth I

Great telling of a discarded wife

My Mother had been at me for years to read a Jean Plaidy novel and I finally have. What an absolutely wonderful book. It’s almost like you’re with Anne Boleyn as she first meets, then marries King Henry VIII, right through to her untimely death. I loved it and can’t wait to read more from this astonishing writer.

Absolutely fantastic
