Looking at history through the eyes of a woman we know so little about but who was at the center of it all is so incredibly fascinating, especially as a lens for the demise of Henry VIII. This story paints a clear picture of his effect on the English people at the time. I really recommend this for anyone interested in fiction about the Tudor era.
