The Last Boleyn

A Novel

By: Karen Harper

Narrated by: Melanie Crawley

They were the Boleyns, once one of England’s most powerful family. Anne Boleyn captured the hand of Henry VIII, and now we see the rise and fall of their family fortunes through the eyes of the eldest Boleyn daughter, Mary.

Mary Boleyn is overshadowed in history by her sister Anne, but it was she who first caught the eye of Henry VIII, setting the stage for her family’s dramatic rise to power—and ultimate fall from grace. Although Henry set her aside as his mistress, Mary still navigated the dangerous waters of the Tudor court, while forging ahead to find a life—and a love—apart from the intrigue that surrounded her.

In New York Times bestseller Karen Harper’s skillfully written and dramatically set novel, you will hear the story of this once mostly-forgotten Boleyn sister in a brilliant blend of history, romance, and drama.

wonderful book

great character development and amazing details throughout. never would have believed so much of England's institutions have their origin in one powerful and lustful king.

Worth a credit.

I love history and this book had a few new fictional takes on the old story of Anne Boelyn.

Absolutely amazing book

The only qualm I had with book was the way the narrator voiced Anne. She used this odd nasally voice that I really disliked

great book!!

I have read this book and listened to it on Audible. The audiobook performance brought new light to it. I would definitely recommend it!

Way too long

Even though I know the story, I usually like historical fiction from this era. This book was far too long. I had to force myself to finish it. It would have been better with at least 25% cut out.
