This is one of my favorite time periods in history and I've always been fascinated with Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. I like Alison Weir's books and this was no exception. It was a faster read than her book on Isabella. While I liked the book,I felt like wasn't anything NEW to the story. It was all information I'd already read in various other books and I was hungry for another interpretation that I didn't get. That was disappointing.

Very interesting and well researched account of the last three months in Anne Boleyn's life. The author includes a lot of original research, and takes into consideration the biases of the different sources when presenting the reasons for Anne's downfall. The writing is a little dry, specially as all events include several different sources/versions (for example, the description from the point of view of different sources of Anne's dress on her execution, and her speech).

Review - Alison Weir's writing can be erratic in places and she doesn't seem to reference her sources very thoroughly. However, the actual content is lively and well-expressed, although she doesn't seem to introduce any new arguments or information, merely going over what others have said before her. This is the first book I know of to have been written wholly about Anne's fall, and for that Weir should be applauded. I hope in the future that we get more than an overview of Anne Boleyn's fall, and some actual arguments.

General Subject/s? - History / Tudors / Anne Boleyn / Execution

Recommend? – Yes

Rating - 16/20
