The Tudor Wife by Emily Purdy
3.0

The ill-fated tale of Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard told by a woman who served them both -Jane Parker, Anne Boleyn's sister in law and a woman who turned her over to her killers.

This was an interesting take on the tale of Anne Boleyn. Once you're read one story about the Boleyn's, they all start to blend in to each other and it probably takes a lot for one to stand out. This didn't stand out and it took me a while to get into (maybe just the bitterness of each word being told by Parker. The hate and disgust was very evident throughout, which I guess meant it was written well). I enjoyed this book for what it was though and I would recommend anyone who likes some Tudor novels to pick it up.
