The imprisonment and execution of Queen Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, in 1536 was unprecedented in English history and never before has there been a book devoted entirely to her fall. But here Alison Weir has reassessed the evidence and created a richly researched and detailed portrait of the last days of one of the most influential and important figures in English history.

The story for the most part was interesting and included details typically not included in books that focus on all six wives. The narrator wasn’t bad, but, kept using a French accent for the Spanish ambassador. Which seemed a bit odd.

Nicely focused on Anne Boleyn

I really enjoyed the book. Alison Weir is a wonderful author, and a great storyteller. But I felt the novel’s performance fell short. The narrator had a poor cadence, and managed to speak too slow while also speaking too fast, so I lost a lot of what she was saying.

Great writing, unattractive narration

This narrator was not pleasant to listen to. Would not listen to any other titles with this person listed as narrator. The book was well written and I would have liked it more if the narrator wasn’t as grating.

Great book, bad narration.

although this was clearly a very well researched book,it was more like a text book. unfortunately, the way the author skipped around with the time frame was a bit hard to follow. it was very interesting though

very historical

This book was quite enjoyable and delved into details that are often (understandably) missing in broader explorations of the fall of Anne Boleyn. I am frustrated by the comment that it was strange that the narrator used a French accent; anyone with any familiarity knows that Chapuys was the Imperial ambassador who’s native language was French.

Chapuys Spoke French
