About this listen

This chance for us Howards comes once in a century…

1521. Henry VIII rules over a fashionable court alive with pageant and celebration, the lack of a son his only threat. When young Mary Boleyn arrives at court, she becomes his new mistress, an unwitting pawn in the ambitions of the powerful Boleyn and Howard families.

As Henry’s interest begins to wane, the Boleyns scheme to put forward Mary’s sister, Anne. Yet Anne Boleyn, newly returned from the French court, won’t agree to be Henry’s mistress – only his wife.

Pitting the king’s desperation for an heir against the advice of his powerful advisors, Wolsey and Cromwell, what follows will change the course of a country’s history.

Absolutely loved this booked, brilliant and so well read - I enjoyed every second of this book

Fantastic

I couldn't forget, to begin with, that this was fiction in a very authentic factual setting, but as the storyline developed I was entirely caught up with it, gaining insights into the political machinations of that period, and whetting my appetite to read more about the period with Wolf Hall.

It grows on you

I liked it all and although evident a lot of legend and imagination was involved it is still a good listen.

That Anne was a shrewd and Henry was so selfish but covered it up in the name of the people.

Honestly, you won’t be able to stop listening, hoovering, cooking, walking the dog it’s an addictive story, and Philippa Gregory a clever clever woman.
Oh and Vanessa Kirby an inspired reader, just a hop and a leap back in time from Princess Margaret.

Captivating

This is an enthralling story spoilt by a monotonous and tedious narration. It needs a storyteller with a bit more variety in her voice and more enthusiasm.

Dull narration.

I put off listening to this for a while as it is a long story but it is a superbly engaging account of how Henry the 8th moved from one wife to the next told through the eyes of Mary Boleyn. All the more fascinating that our Queen Elizabeth is a descendant of Mary Boleyn (Anne Boleyn’s sister) and Henry the 8th but Mary is rarely spoken of. Captivating story and expertly narrated.

Really engaging story of the Boleyn’s

I’m such a fan of this era and know this story well; however never read any of PG’s books before. And although some of the history is fictionalized it is borderline true...from what is known. The writing is superb and the narration excellent. I could picture the story perfectly and gained such sympathy with the characters involved. This won’t be my last PG book...just wonderful.
