Summary
“All eyes and hair” a courtier had said disparagingly of her – and certainly the younger daughter of Tom Boleyn lacked the bounteous charms of most ladies of Court. Black-haired, black eyes, she had a wild-sprite quality that was to prove more effective, more dangerous than conventional feminine appeal. The King first noticed her when she was sixteen – and with imperial greed he smashed her youthful love-affair with Harry Percy and began the process of royal seduction… But this was no ordinary woman, no maid-in-waiting to be possessed and discarded by a king. Against his will, his own common sense, Henry found himself bewitched – enthralled by the young girl who was to be known as the Concubine…

An informative novel
First read this in 1968, aged 17 and loved it. It led me to read many non-fiction books about the Tudor period over the years and would suggest this is one of the best novels as Norah Lofts did a lot of research which makes it very informative.
I selected audio due to an eye problem but really didn't like the narrator's voice, especially the dialogue of Henry V111!

Excellent narration and brilliantly told story of a woman who changed history
Norah Lofts was a superb writer of historical fiction. This is a wonderful and memorable telling of a familiar story which paints a superb picture of Anne Boleyn. Anne is not one of my favourite characters by any means but I found myself in tears at the end of this book. A wonderful experience.
