Mary Boleyn: The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir
4.0
Other reviewers fault this book for the lack of contemporary evidence of the life of Mary Boleyn; however, I found Alison Weir’s ability to present the atmosphere and personalities surrounding Mary to be very interesting. I’ve not read another book about Mary or her sister Anne that brought the French court to such life for me.
If hard facts of the life of a subject are important to you, this may not be the biography for you; however if you want to know the feel of the time and place that the subject lived through, with wonderful detail and impeccable research, then seek out this book on a ‘lesser’ Tudor era figure.
