Although I'm a fan of Anne Boleyn, I did really like this book-I thought her portrayal was really interesting even if not fawning.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022230834119760805.post-14680470639762977972012-10-11T21:07:20.734+01:002012-10-11T21:07:20.734+01:00Great review, I bought this one at a library sale ...Great review, I bought this one at a library sale for 25 cents a couple years ago but haven't worked up the nerve to read it yet.

The scandal in the Tudor court is one that intrigues no matter what point of view it is from. <br /><br />I completely agree that your attitude changes about book that you were assigned to read versus books you just picked up yourself.
