Genre: Henry 8th Wives- Historical Fiction
The Wives of Henry VIII tell all....
I love this book, different voices, hopes, dreams, and all besotted (or told they had to be ) by the large rumpish Henry VIII. It is so Netflixy!!
Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived
We hear the story of each of these wives... It is like a mystery thriller, with romance, intrigue and religion all chucked in for good measure. I forgave Anne, had compassion on Catherine and just could not warm to Miss Parr!
Perfect for anyone fascinated by the Royal Wedding, Netflix's The Crown , or Wolf Hall , this is a pitch-perfect reimagining of the romance and tragedy of Henry VIII and his six wives, told from multiple points of view by some of your favorite authors.
If you were one of King Henry VIII's six wives, who would you be? Would you be Anne Boleyn, who literally lost her head? Would you be the subject of rumor and scandal like Catherine Howard? Or would you get away and survive like Anna of Cleves?
Meet them and Henry's other queens--each bound for divorce or death--in this epic and thrilling novel that reads like fantasy but really happened. Watch spellbound as each of these women attempts to survive their unpredictable king as he grows more and more obsessed with producing a male heir. And discover how the power-hungry court fanned the flames of Henry's passions . . . and his most horrible impulses.
Whether you're a huge fan of all things Tudor or new to this jaw-dropping saga, you won't be able to get the unique voices of Henry and his wives--all brought to life by seven award-winning and bestselling authors--out of your head.
This is an intimate look at the royals during one of the most treacherous times in history. Who will you root for and who will you love to hate?
