Historical Fiction The first in this series that I've read, and it's chiefly about the 4th and 5th wives of Henry VIII - Anne of Cleves (the German speaking Dutch wife, and the only one to survive the marriage without being accused of treason) and Katherine Howard (the young girl who took her place). Told in several different voices, primarily Anne, Katherine and Jane Boleyn (Anne Boleyn's sister in law who helped send her to the scaffold) and the voices are different enough that it's easy to switch chapters and their narration. Anne of Cleves is shown to be intelligent to understand court and the danger of having such a man as a husband. Kitty is flighty and vain, able to turn a man's head but unable to recognise danger when it's in front of her. Jane is a manipulative, but ultimately blind-to-danger, and doesnt realise that she can be betrayed as soon as she stops being useful. I dont know much about the wives of Henry VIII so unable to determine how much of the book is "poetic license" - as a fictional book, rather than a biography, I suspect a certain amount, but the book is no worse for it. It is a relatively easy read, especially once I got used to the chopping and changing beterrn all the different voices ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
