I'm  a sucker for anything Tudor. I surely wouldn't want to have LIVED in Tudor England but I enjoy the heck out of a book that opens a window on that time and place and let's me look my fill. The author has created a believable narrator in a young lady in waiting that is neither a bit of knight-dependent fluff OR a sword wielding fearless shield maiden that is such a fixture in much current fiction. Anne Boleyn (Ambition's Queen), whom the narrator serves, is also a believable interpretation. She is neither the wild eyed hellion of "The Other Boleyn Girl" nor the tragic flower of "Anne of the Thousand Days". Just a good read. You already know how it ends...
