Publisher's summary

A bold new analysis of one of history’s most misrepresented women.

History has lied.

Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?

Wrong.

In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn’s life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.

So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors’ most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn’s voice is being heard now.

Interesting Enjoyable Story

Not quite the book story I thought I was getting, but really good non the less.
I felt like I was in a college history class lead by a professor that was interesting, knowledgeable and brought the characters to life in a new light. Wanted to keep going to class!

Took some time to get motivated to continue with this book, but once past the first few pages I found I wanted
to reach the final conclusion. Be patient and enjoy.

Not bad once you get used to the narrator

There are multiple points where I rolled my eyes at the way the author wrote things, and her particular style of narration, but once I just forced through it for a while it was okay. She goes through Anne's life in a very detailed manner bringing together pieces we knew, and some we didn't, to really create a full picture of Anne Boleyn.

Thought provoking

I wish all females in history got as much validation as Anne Boleyn receives here! Too often if she a victim of Henry and as Nolan points out, she was more that gracious to her people and a better ruler than her husband.

interesting & well done

A story well researched is interesting , but the sarcastic humor added into the history of it makes it amazing.

Poor Ann Boleyn, so slighted in most of history as a fickle woman. I hope more historians will do their due diligence & look again.

I've read many books about Elizabeth I, but this is a first about her mother. Thank you.

Informative and Entertaining

I really really enjoyed listening to this!! I found it to be both informative and entertaining, and the prose is very accessible. This is not your dry Tudor biography that you have to struggle to wade through. I highly recommend!!!

I knew it!!!!

Thank you Ms. Nolan! The historical party line about Anne and Henry NEVER rang true to me. But, I was born in 1965, live in Phila. PA and don’t know anyone personally who have any interest in what went on “back then”. LOL. I read everything, almost, and I love the Plantangenent history, the 100 years war, Tudor history. I love it all. I enjoy the historical fiction but appreciate the raw truth even more.
