A fascinating read about a feminist living in a man's world. Anne Boleyn is my favourite of Henry's Queens, and this portrayal captures Anne's intelligence and passion as well as emphasing how her upbringing with strong females shaped her character. Unfortunately, we all know how this story ends, but this story shows how Anne's strength remained through every traumatic ordeal and shows her as independent woman who deserves to be remembered as someone other that Henry's wife.
