Mistress Anne

De: Carolly Erickson

Narrado por: Veida Dehmlow

As Maureen Quilligan wrote in The New York Times Book Review of The First Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn "was a real victim of the sexual scandals her brilliant daughter escaped, and a subject Ms. Erickson's sensitivity to sexual and political nuance should well serve." Indeed, Carolly Erickson could have chosen no more fascinating and appropriate a subject. Alluring and profoundly enigmatic, Anne Boleyn has eluded the grasp of historians for centuries.

Through her extraordinarily vivid re-creation of this most tragic chapter in all Tudor History, Carrolly Erickson gives us unprecedented insight into the singularity of Anne Boleyn's life, the dark and overwhelming forces that shaped her errant destiny, and the rare, tumultuous times in which she lived.

pitch perfect

The narration was pitch perfect. The story was a bit repetitive and lengthy. Much historical background but it was hard to determine fact from the author’s opinion.

Nothing new here.

Well narrated but it didn't really tell me anything new about Anne or really give any insights into her mindset. Good for overall story of Henry VIII's court though.
