About this listen
“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…

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this as the narration was varied and the book was highly enjoyable. Emma was a good character.

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.

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!
