Mistress Anne

Carolly Erickson selected a fascinating and appropriate subject, and this extraordinary royal biography reads like a novel. Alluring and profoundly enigmatic, Anne Boleyn has eluded the grasp of historians for centuries. With her vivid re-creation of Henry VIII's Tudor England, Carolly Erickson gives us unprecedented insight not only into the dark and overwhelming forces that shaped Anne Boleyn's exceptional life and errant destiny, but the tumultuous times in which she lived as well.
