I have both read and seen many interpretations of the Anne Boleyn story, and I didn't think there was much more to be said. How wrong I was! Judith Arnopp has found such a unique and fresh approach to this most famous of love/hate relationships that readers will be drawn into her atmospheric prose. She is so skilled at conjuring the sights and sounds of her chosen setting that you can almost hear the courtly music, smell the pomanders, and taste the suckling pig. Her insights into the nuances of Anne's relationship with King Henry Vlll will delight and amaze you, and maybe make you think of Anne, mother of that most powerful of monarchs, Queen Elizabeth l of England, in a new and intriguing light.Highly recommended for lovers of historical drama and romance.
