Mary Boleyn: 'the Great and Infamous Whore' by Alison Weir

3.0

I don’t read all that much historical non fiction and when I do it’s almost always Alison Weir’s work that I read. I essentially thought that the myths regarding Mary Boleyn were true so learning that most of what we know about her is bollocks was enlightening. The problem is that there’s just not enough known about her for sure to make a compelling biography and Alison obviously loves her subject matter too much to fudge the details so it left this book a little spiky and difficult to get a flow going. Nevertheless I did like it and I learnt some new things which is always good.
