'The Final Year of Anne Boleyn' by Natalie Grueninger

There are few women in English history more famous or controversial than Queen Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of Henry VIII, mother of Elizabeth I and the first English queen to be publicly executed.  Much of what we think we know about her is coloured by myth and legend. In this engaging account of the triumphant and harrowing final year of  Anne Boleyn's life, the author reveals a very human portrait of a brilliant, passionate and complex woman. The last twelve months of her life contained both joy and heartbreak, what began with so much promise, ended in silent dignity, amid a whirlwind of scandal, on a scaffold at the Tower of London.  This is an exciting and important book of Tudor history, the fall of one of England's most famous queen consorts, which sheds new light on a well-known story.
