About this listen

 The Wicked Wife is an e-short and companion piece to Katheryn Howard: The Tainted Queen, the captivating fifth novel in the Six Tudor Queens series by bestselling historian Alison Weir.

1525. As Anne Boleyn's star rises at Henry VIII's court, Jane Parker's marriage to Anne's brother, George, brings her status and influence. But theirs is not a happy union and results in a bitter and bloody end.

1540. When Katheryn Howard, a young cousin of the Boleyns, becomes the King's fifth bride, Jane's past allegiance to the crown secures her senior rank in the new queen's household.

But memories of her own ill-fated marriage stir Jane's sympathies towards Katheryn and her secret liaison with a young man at court. Jane's collusion places both women at tremendous risk, while the fate of Anne Boleyn weighs heavily on their minds. They must decide where their loyalties truly lie, before it's too late...

As we do not know what went through this nasty woman’s mind, Weir has submitted an ok account of how she see’s things. It passes an hour and a half of entertainment as I lay ill in bed and has stimulated me to learn more on the life of this woman who condemned her horrible husband to death having his nasty head lopped off. What a set of lunatics many of the rich were in the Tudor society.

Interesting Fantasy
