MEDIA REVIEWS
Alison Weir makes Henry VIII's story feel like it has never been told before...she gets under the skin of the man who is so often dismissed as a much-married monster and gives us an altogether more nuanced,compelling and human portrayalAs always,Alison Weir is ahead of the curve - and at the top of her game. Her wide knowledge and unparalleled understanding of the Tudor era fuels a sympathetic,but never sycophantic,portrait of England's most compelling kingThis is royal Tudor life both in broad scope and intimate detail and readers are in for a sumptuous journeyWhat a book! Alison has done a fantastic and impressive job of bringing to life such a notorious historical figure as a multi-faceted,imperfect yet likeable and even,at times,pitiable character...Complex,captivating and memorable
