It is the spring of 1527. Henry VIII has come to Hever Castle in Kent to pay court to Anne Boleyn. He is desperate to have her. For this mirror of female perfection he will set aside his queen and all Cardinal Wolsey's plans for a dynastic French marriage. Anne Boleyn is not so sure. She loathes Wolsey for breaking her betrothal to the Earl of Northumberland's son, Harry Percy, whom she had loved. She does not welcome the king's advances; she knows that she can never give him her heart.

Story
In her essay on Jacquetta, Philippa Gregory uses original documents, archaeology and histories of myth and witchcraft to create the first-ever biography of the young duchess who was to survive two reigns and two wars to become the first lady at two rival courts. David Baldwin, established author on the Wars of the Roses, tells the story of Elizabeth Woodville, the first commoner to marry a king of England for love, and Michael Jones, fellow of the Royal Historical Society, writes of Margaret Beaufort, the almost-unknown matriarch of the House of Tudor. The Women of the Cousins’ War will appeal to all.

Extraordinary and vivid!
I think this may be the best Gregory novel...or maybe Kirby's narration is what made this so captivating. The imagery, the voice, the historical detail, the steamy scenes... I'm kind of sad that I've reached the end if this book.

Spectacular Narration!
I have been entranced by this story and truly believe that Vanessa Kirby's narration is one of the best I've ever heard in ANY audiobook. (Next to my #1 favorite Simon Prebble!) I tried to find others by her but there are only two....!. Then I discovered that she is also the brilliant actress who plays Princess Margaret on The Crown! Well I am a huge fan, and hope to see...and hear...much more of her! of course Philippa Gregory provides rich material to work with!

One of her best works!
I will admit to having very low expectations of this book due to my experience with the movie version. Wow did Hollywood do the book a disservice! This not only far surpassed my expectations it is probably the best book in the series (so far!). Anne & Mary Boleyn are fully represented as complex women (and sisters!) trapped in the dangerous gamble of Tudor politics where the stakes are high and losing can mean death. Even if you know the historical facts you will sit in suspense as this story unravels. Also, I enjoy the other narrator (Bianca) so much that I was worried I would be distracted by Kirby - once again, I was wrong - her voice conveys the characters emotions so perfectly I have to think she was a carefully curated selection for this particular story. All in all, a really great listen!

I was hooked from the very beginning - this story was excellent historical fiction! Exciting with constant intrigue and the characters really pull you in. I think Vanessa Kirby's voice made this as wonderful as it was. She has a beautiful husky, but feminine sound and such range for the cast of characters - I could listen to her for days. Will definitely look for more by this author and narrator!
