The Lady in the Tower

The Fall of Anne Boleyn

De: Alison Weir

Narrado por: Judith Boyd

The imprisonment and execution of Queen Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, in 1536 was unprecedented in English history and never before has there been a book devoted entirely to her fall. But here Alison Weir has reassessed the evidence and created a richly researched and detailed portrait of the last days of one of the most influential and important figures in English history.

I loved the entire story.

I loved this book, it gives different perspectives on why Anne was persecuted.
Also made me think of how treacherous those folks were/are.

great book and narration, but play it at 1.10 speed, otherwise, it sounds very distorted

Chapuys Spoke French

This book was quite enjoyable and delved into details that are often (understandably) missing in broader explorations of the fall of Anne Boleyn. I am frustrated by the comment that it was strange that the narrator used a French accent; anyone with any familiarity knows that Chapuys was the Imperial ambassador who’s native language was French.

Great writing, unattractive narration

I really enjoyed the book. Alison Weir is a wonderful author, and a great storyteller. But I felt the novel’s performance fell short. The narrator had a poor cadence, and managed to speak too slow while also speaking too fast, so I lost a lot of what she was saying.

excellent presentation

I really liked the progression of information and the way the story was laid out. the narrator was impressive
