Book Reviews of The Lady in the Tower: The Wives of Henry VIII
Book Review: Good read. involving.
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the best treatments of Anne Boylen I've read to date. I've occasionally re-read it since childhood. From the Tower of London Anne recalls how she came to be there. Charting early family life, her education at the erudite yet decadent french court, first love, marrage to the king and later danger. Character portrayal is a nice mix of the glamourous, bewitching figure who cameos in every book of fiction about Henry VIII or Elizabeth I, and three-dimensional realism in tune with sympathetic historical assessment. Not a great book exactly but a quality read that doesn't sink into cloying sentimentality or bland sterotypes. If you want a good, historical yarn that brings the people involved to life yet doesn't make you scream with it's obvious inaccuracties check this out. If you enjoyed this also have a look at Queen of this Realm, by same author, and Legacy by Susan Kay. Both about Elizabeth.
