Book Reviews of Anne Boleyn

Book Review: Norah Loft's Anne Boleyn
Summary: 5 Stars

Norah Lofts is a historical novelist of the first water- she did her best work in the forties and fifties and has a small but devoted following ( see Goodreads, or Flork or Allreaders)
Most of her ouevre is fiction, featuring ordinary people as well as royalty, but always meticulously researched and devoid of the purple prose and fervid imagined sexual detail of later writers. However she also had a respectable output of non fiction.
'Anne Boleyn', like 'Women in the New Testament' or any of her other non-fiction is completely readable , but intelligently researched and structured. Always a pleasure Norah Lofts, always.
One aspect of note in Norah Lofts -fiction or non fiction- is that once you have read her version of some historical figure, it is hard to accept anyone else's as being quite as real . A bit like Mary Renault's version of Alexander Great.
