Mailbox Monday
From the Brandy Purdy a signed UK copy of The Tudor Wife
"A lustful king. A thirst for power. The terrible price of revenge! When we meet the shy, plain Lady Jane Parker, she feels out of place in Henry VIII's court, which is filled with glamour and intrigue. Then she meets the handsome George Boleyn and becomes overjoyed when her father arranges a match! until she meets Anne. George Boleyn is completely devoted to his sister Anne; and as Anne's circle of admirers grows, so does Jane's resentment. Becoming Henry's queen makes Anne the most powerful woman in England; but it also makes her vulnerable, as the King is desperate for an heir. When he begins to tire of his mercurial wife, the stage is set for the ultimate betrayal! Encompassing the reigns of four of Henry's wives, from the doomed Anne to the reckless Katherine Howard, The Boleyn Wife is an unforgettable story of ambition, lust, and jealousy".

This sounds so very good. George Boleyn and his sister had such a chequered history that anyone who came into the equation would have been effected.
ReplyDeleteSeems good!
ReplyDeleteMondays: Mailbox/Whereabouts/Musings!
I really need to get to my copy of that book - I have the US one.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it Lizzy!
HERE is my Mailbox Monday.
Mystica, I agree it was a messy situation. This read was good fr the fact that it was probably more than likely how Jane saw the siblings. We all know she was crazy but this shows more of her insane side.
ReplyDeleteGautami, it was good a bit erotic but still really good.
Amy, Thank you Amy I love this cover much more than the US one. I am off to check out you mail box.
It was certainly an interesting story!

Robinbird, interesting to say the least, so....
ReplyDeleteI think I fixed it I had to clean out photobucket and screwed it all up by deleting it. I updated the code let me know if it still is not working. Thank you for the heads up.
