Where does The Six Wives of Henry VIII rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It was a 9.What did you like best about this story?
From Catherine of Aragon to Katherine Parr Alison Weir gives us a fascinating look at each of Henry the VII's many wives. Focusing on their stories from their point of view rather than Henry's we see how remarkable these women were and how Henry, really married most every type of woman there is.While there is a lot of "fill in the blanks" in this book, there is much that is based on the actual history of them all and I would be surprised if it doesn't make many interested enough to look further into the time, Henry,all of these women, and their effect on the history of England.
While there was more to Henry's wife hopping than lust, it seems fitting he never had both; the son he needed and a wife he wanted.
Get it. It is better than it sounds.
What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed his narration, The book in itself is great so I don't know how he could have gone wrong working with what he had.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Gee, I don't know..."He Was An Asshole" maybe?.Any additional comments?
I can't say that something that makes me cry every time I hear or read it is something I can say is what I like best. I was surprised at the emotional response I had to a certain part of it.
It seems Catherine of Aragon can be said to be the wife that loved him best, though there isn't enough known about Jane Seymour to be sure. She sure as hell, hung in there until her last day.
Catherine's last letter to Henry and the last line makes me know,unquestionably, the depth of her love for him and how broken her heart had been.
No matter what he did, no matter what he threatened she could still say,when she knew she was dying ; " Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things"
Jesus. I hope to never love a man that much.
Somebody hand me a tissue.
