The Concubine by Lofts
4.0
4 stars - It was great. I loved it.
The most intriguing novel I have ever read about Anne Boleyn. The author had a wonderful way of getting you inside the heads of multiple players/characters, presenting as thorough and accurate of a story as one could look to find in historical fiction. Kudos to the publisher for renewing the publication, as otherwise I would have most likely never found or heard of it.

Favorite Quote: He was a young man again, in love for the first time and on his way to his wedding. All that he genuinely believed, for amongst many other things, he was a poet and possessed the poet’s ability to create his own world.
First Sentence: The serving woman went and knelt by the hearth and busied herself with the kindling of the fire.
