Just your typical ditzy, carefree, fun-loving, characterization of Katherine Howard. The author brought nothing new to the story. A child who was allowed to run free through her aunt's house and charmed her way to the bed of a king. We've heard it all before. The interaction between Cramner and C...
Katherine Howard was the fifth queen of Henry VIII. She led a life of promiscuity, and could not seem to curb herself once she was in the palace. Her ladies covered for her, and one even lost her head with her mistress over the deception that had been taking place.Katherine Howard was a sad story. I...
I received this one a few weeks ago from LittleBrown but I hadn't requested it and hadn't even heard of it before it showed up at my door so I put it to the side for a while until I could decide if I was likely to be in the mood for it or not. I used to read quite a lot of Historical and had a real...
I hate to review a book I haven't even finished but in this case it needs to be done. I am adding this book to the very short list of books I started and never finished. That list is now home to three books. I generally force myself to push through to the end of a book no matter how bad or how long ...
Yet another deceiving title from Dunn as The Queen’s Sorrow and cover illustration as well as the synopsis on the back cover elude to this being the story of Mary Tudor, on her ascension to the throne. The story is told through the eyes of a Spanish sundial maker, Rafael, and actually is his story....
I was truly eager to read another novel from Suzannah Dunn and pulled The Queen of Subtleties: A Novel of Anne Boleyn immediately out of my latest shipment of books. Thus far in all my years of devouring all Tudor era historical fiction I had not come across a novel that I could not find anything r...
The writing in terms of sentences and paragraphs isn't bad. But the book is so underwhelming as several other reviewers have pointed out. The ending, quite frankly, felt rushed. Honestly, for a better look at a young girl with an older king, check out The Time of Singing, which is a better look a...
Ditto to what others have said. The tone was way too modern.I laughed out-loud when Henry told everyone to skedaddle so that he could be alone with Anne. The image in my head was priceless, I doubt it was what the author was intending. Henry is a poor, befuddled mess and thank goodness Anne is there...
When 12 year old Katherine comes living with the Duchess of Norfolk, she meets Cat Tilney and they become friends despite having very little in common. From early on Katherine is more interested in boys and clothes tan anything else and Cat is more reserved. One of the boys living there is Francis ...
