Opis

Dramatic new retelling of the Anne Boleyn tale, through the stories of her father and brother.

Recenzje

Dr Mackay's combined biography of the men seeks to dispel these notions through a committed act of scholarship - and I have to say, she entirely succeeds. Thomas the diplomat, the negotiator, the councillor, even Thomas the jouster, are explored in detail ... This work adds greatly to our understanding of the Boleyn family before Anne's rise, and the important diplomatic and foreign affairs that they were involved in. Tudor Times
