The Fourth Volume of THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND
From the back of the book....
"Beautiful, doomed Anne Boleyn...forbidden to marry the man she loved...trapped by the relentless passion of her liege lord, King Henry VIII...destroyed in a political catastrophe whose poignant echoes still reverberate.
Her attractions were so powerful that Henry VIII broke with the Church in Rome and formed the Church of England, to obtain a forbidden divorce from his first wife to marry Anne. But his love did not last, and Anne was Queen of England for only three unhappy years.
In this magnificent novel, Jean Plaidy lets Anne Boleyn tell her own intimate story...of a brilliant and stormy life in 16th-century Europe's two most powerful and scintillating courts, in England and France...of love, passion, and ambition..of a strange and tragic destiny that leads to a cold, lonely chamber in the Tower of London."
