Praise for ANNA OF KLEVE: QUEEN OF SECRETS
‘In this vivid and beautifully crafted portrayal, Alison Weir transforms Henry VIII’s much maligned fourth wife into a woman of passion, courage and mystery. Utterly gripping and endlessly surprising, this novel captivates from the first page to the last . . . A masterpiece’ Tracy Borman
‘A rounded, interesting portrait of the one who outlived the other wives’ The Times
‘It takes a writer of Weir’s skill to make us believe her fantasia on the established story. But more importantly, it takes a historian of Weir’s experience – her familiarity with the sources, and the period detail – to use this compelling fiction to cast a revealing fresh light on the real historical figure’ Sarah Gristwood
‘An outstanding novel, the most intriguing so far in Weir’s “Six Queens” series . . . Anna is a survivor . . . Weir tells her story with passion, a strong emotional pulse and an excellent knowledge base’ Historical Novel Review
‘The author is a master storyteller and creates a fascinating tale of love in all its guises’ Sun
‘Anna of Kleve comes alive on the page in surprising and mysterious ways that only an author of Weir’s superb finesse can achieve . . . Weir has put quite a twist to her tale that I utterly buy into and applaud’ Susan Ronald
Praise for JANE SEYMOUR: THE HAUNTED QUEEN
‘This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in historical fiction’ The Times
‘Vivid characters and a wonderful sense of time and place combine with the story of a gentle, kind heroine who I really cared about, the more so because she was so cruelly robbed of her life at the moment of her greatest happiness’ Barbara Erskine
‘Alison Weir gives a fresh take on Jane Seymour’s life . . . A brilliant and engaging read’ Good Housekeeping
‘This brilliant book is a bombshell! Jane Seymour the shy mouse type? Think again! . . . She is vibrant, determined and she sets the King’s court on fire . . . A magnificent novel’ Kate Williams
‘Gripping and utterly compelling . . . Henry VIII’s third and – allegedly – best-loved wife is brought vividly to life . . . Not to be missed’ Tracy Borman
‘Meticulous research is magically transformed into a riveting narrative which takes us into the places non-fiction history cannot reach. It’s what Alison Weir does better than anybody – and what historical fiction was created to do’ Sarah Gristwood
Praise for ANNE BOLEYN: A KING’S OBSESSION
‘This is Anne Boleyn as you have never seen her before. I could not put it down’ Tracy Borman
