It was enjoyable because history is one of my favourite subjects and this was describing a life in Tudor times. It really puts you in Thera as you read it.

It reveals the mysteries of the past. It shows the feelings and life around the Tudor era. What was going on in Henry's mind? Read this book to find out.

I liked this book because I found I could relate to the characters (for I'm a girl) and it taught me a lot of new things. It was very historically accurate and incredibly enjoyable. I found how I am sort of connected to Anne Boleyn for the Duke of norfolk was her uncle and my home county is norfolk. I recommend this book more for girls than boys and for people of around my age (12-13) as a younger audience may not understand it.

I aren't doing the reading challenge, but this was the first book I read after the reading challenge began. This book was really interesting. It was about a lady-in-waitings daughter. That lady in waiting was serving Catherine of Aragon. It follows king henry 8th desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn. It is set as a diary so you have the insider story from also Anne Boleyns life. It is exciting and interesting. I read it in 3 days!

A great factual book based on the uproar between the public and King Henry VIII in the mission to have a son to take over the royal throne once Henry was gone.
