Loosely based on the life of Mary Boleyn, the sister of Anne Boleyn and mistress of Henry VIII. I read somewhere that this book is claustrophobic, and I think that’s accurate. I just can’t decide if that was intentional (to reflect on the times) or if it was just plain ol’ dry. It wasn’t a bad read, but I probably won’t run out and get any more like it.
Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I've always got a book or two on the go, and lately I've been trying to branch out and try different genres (although I seem to have found a new favorite in mysteries). This is where I'll tell you what I think about the books I've read.
