Alison Weir is a top notch historian. I have not read a book of hers yet that I do not like. This is a deep dive into the life and times of Anne Boleyn, first the mistress of Henry VIII and then Queen. She had an interesting life, and her manipulations and intrigues were very entertaining. She really moved herself to the top of the world before it all came crashing down around her for the whims of a man. The lives of women in this era are so interesting to me. I really liked this book a lot.
