Oh alexa, I still don't know what I feel about you. No Boleyn in the title so alexa should be fine. Now off to listen to Katherine parrs story. It was a bit quiet and chapters were repeated more than once, which I presume is bad editing. Nothing is certain in a kingdom ruled by an increasingly tyrannical king. They worked so well individually but as a tag team they are awesome. And Jane Boleyn, summoned to the inner circle once more by her uncle the Duke of Norfolk, finds a fractious court haunted by the Boleyn legacy of death and deceit. She was a product of her time but she enjoyed it all rather to much. I enjoyed Anne of cleves and as for nosey Parker. The shame the men Inc Henry should have felt. Catherine Howard was not academically clever she didn't stand a chance. The terrible knowledge that there was nothing to be done to save yourself as no one would tell you what,if anything, you had done wrong. Yet again I felt the fear and enemies hiding in the shadows. Just as she played me the other Berlin girl. But she did play me the Berlin inheritance. Asked her several times to play the Boleyn inheritance and each time she told me she couldnt, or she didn't know that one. The story of these three young women, trying to make their own way through the most volatile court in Europe at a time of religious upheaval and political uncertainty, is Philippa Gregory’s most compelling novel yet.Yes, alexa did it again. Katherine is confident that she can follow in the steps of her cousin Anne Boleyn to dazzle her way to the throne but her kinswoman Jane Boleyn, haunted by the past, knows that Anne’s path led to Tower Green and to an adulterer’s death.
