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...
blurbs - Nearly five hundred years after her violent death, Anne Boleyn, second wife to Henry VIII, remains one of the world's most fascinating, controversial, and tragic heroines. Now acclaimed historian and bestselling author Alison Weir has drawn on myriad sources from the Tudor era to give us th...

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...
