Jane Boleyn: The True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochford by Julia Fox just hit book stores and I must say I'm psyched! I was so enthralled after reading the story of Henry VIII told by Philipa Gregory that I started checking out any and all books I could find about his wives. Another great one if you're a Henry fan is The Last Wife of Henry VII by Carolly Erickson.
If you've gotten to know me at all you've figured I'm not much of a nonfiction reader. Not because I don't like the content but because I can't stand the dryness it's usually written with. So historical fiction is def. for me. I like authors who can take real life events like the beheading of Ann Boleyn and the seduction of her sister Mary and imagine the emotions and small day to day happenings that surrounded the bigger drama.
I've heard good things about Julia Fox's book so I'll be eager to pick it up and see if I can actually find some love for the horrible Jane Boleyn. I guess we can give her that in a man's world she is a survivor. She had no problem with betraying anyone who stood in her way.
I'll be working on getting my hands on this book and reviewing it for you!
Interested in The Other Boleyn Girl?
