Gosh, I am having bad luck with all these non-fiction books. This year I have not finished any non-fiction books that I started. Let me be very clear; I did not give up because it was bad. I read up to page 207 and I very much liked it. But I have to return it to my local library because I have rene...

This was a great in-depth look at the fall of Anne Boleyn. I see that she was almost certainly innocent of all crimes against her, and may have been rhesus negative, which explains why only her oldest child, Elizabeth, survived. I will definitely have to read more of Weir's work, as she is a fantast...

First, I have to say that I find the Tudor dynasty fascinating, and have since I first read about them in my teens. That said, my reading up until this point has mostly centered around historical fiction. This is my first non-fiction book about Anne Boleyn, and my first non-fiction book by Alison ...

I’ve been reading Weir for years. I’ve read almost all of her books. The two I haven’t read yet, I have, and they are in my TBR pile. I picked up The Lady in the Tower at my local BJs (which sometimes has the most wonderful books). There is something about the Tudors, and it shouldn’t surprise th...

*This review is based on a copy of the book I won through Goodreads FirstReads Giveaways.* Actual rating 4.5 stars. The first--and so far only--book I've won through a Goodreads give away! I have a great interest in the Tudor dynasty, especially the era of Henry VIII's reign, so I was really e...

The book focuses only in Anne's fall and execution. There's also different types of "ghost stories" about Anne.
