One of history’s most complex and alluring women comes to life in this classic novel by the legendary Jean Plaidy.

Young Anne Boleyn was not beautiful, but she was irresistible, capturing the hearts of 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 loving, 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, who called her “the King’s Great Whore,” 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

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

I thought Jean Plaidy was a low-grade writer of romance. I was very wrong, this is gripping and erudite.

Superb
