The Tudor wife - Emily Purdy

A lustful king. A thirst for power. The terrible price of revenge

Encompassing the reigns of four of Henry's wives, from the doomed Anne to the reckless Katherine Howard, The Tudor Wife is an unforgettable story of ambition, lust, and jealousy.

When we meet the shy, plain Lady Jane Parker, she feels out of place in Henry VIII's court, which is filled with glamour and intrigue. Then she meets the handsome George Boleyn and becomes overjoyed when her father arranges a match until she meets Anne.

George Boleyn is completely devoted to his sister Anne; and as Anne's circle of admirers grows, so does Jane's resentment.
