About this listen

 This chance for us Howards comes once in a century…

1521. Henry VIII rules over a fashionable court alive with pageant and celebration, the lack of a son his only threat. When young Mary Boleyn arrives at court, she becomes his new mistress, an unwitting pawn in the ambitions of the powerful Boleyn and Howard families.

As Henry’s interest begins to wane, the Boleyns scheme to put forward Mary’s sister, Anne. Yet Anne Boleyn, newly returned from the French court, won’t agree to be Henry’s mistress – only his wife.

Pitting the king’s desperation for an heir against the advice of his powerful advisors, Wolsey and Cromwell, what follows will change the course of a country’s history.

Fantastic

This is an enthralling story spoilt by a monotonous and tedious narration. It needs a storyteller with a bit more variety in her voice and more enthusiasm.

Dull narration.

It's a very easy listen, a pacey, light, romanticised narrative, and a bit fluffy (compared to the meatier, more politically infused historical retellings of this period of Tudor history) but utterly enjoyable and incredibly hard to switch off... I loved binge-listening to this!

Very well read, addictive listening.

Wonderful story, read absolutely from the heart pulling us back into the King's fold and getting our adrenaline and hormones pumping. Well done!

Thought provoking history and pretty scary with it
