Alison Weir makes history come alive as no one else (Barbara Erskine)
Alison Weir is the doyen of Tudor fiction and non-fiction ... With Alison's light touch, [Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession] is fiction that reads as fact, and leaves us breathless, hoping ... then of course we recognise that we are not reading pure fiction after all, but a finely woven tapestry of fictional biography that stays with us long after we close the book at the final line. It is simply a masterpiece (Susan Ronald on Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession)

well should gain insights from this revealing novel
