Robin Maxwell’s debut novel introduces Anne Boleyn and her daughter, Elizabeth: one was queen for a thousand days, the other for more than 40 years. Both were passionate, headstrong women, loved and hated by Henry VIII. At the beginning of Elizabeth’s reign, her mother’s private diary is given to her by a mysterious lady. In reading it, the young ruler - herself embroiled in a dangerous love affair - discovers a great deal about her much maligned mother.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 186
The Tudor period conjures up images of queens and noblewomen in elaborate court dress, of palace intrigue and dramatic politics. But if you were a woman, it was also a time when death during childbirth was rife, when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love, and the education you could hope to receive was minimal at best. Yet the Tudor century was also dominated by powerful and dynamic women in a way that no era had been before.

He guides us from the building of Stonehenge to the founding of the two great glories of medieval England: common law and the cathedrals.

Part biography, part cultural history, The Creation of Anne Boleyn is a fascinating reconstruction of Anne’s life and an illuminating look at her afterlife in the popular imagination. Why is Anne so compelling? Why has she inspired such extreme reactions? What did she really look like? Was she the flaxen-haired martyr of Romantic paintings or the raven-haired seductress of twenty-first-century portrayals? (Answer: Neither.) And perhaps the most provocative questions concern Anne’s death more than her life.

wonderful, better than most
I am familiar with the Anne Boleyn Files online and some of this author's work. Honestly, I trust the accuracy of what is written there, than most books, noted historian or not. The reasons for that are multiple, but basically information is far more vetted there than anywhere else, and they have more to prove. The BLOGS are enjoyable, I wished for more actually, my only complaint was there was a little redundancy. I was hesitant about the audio because I was uncertain how the author would do--she did better than MOST. You won't regret this one.

Off with her head.
I enjoyed this book, which was well written and narrated by Clair Ridgway. Lots of facts proven or disproven or where the facts are hazy it's left to the listener/reader to make up their own mind. An enjoyable book which I would recommend.
