Title: A fascinating insight
Review: Having initially read the autobiography by Margaret George, I decided to read this to gain another perspective. The styles are very different but the story remains compelling. Alison Wier takes a very different approach to Margaret George, but the result is no less worthy. It is interesting to contrast where the two accounts differ, but in the vast majority of cases, they back each other up but seen from a different angle. The story slowly unfolds and even though you know what is going to happen, you want to read on to find out why or how. Because of this I often found it hard to actually put the book down and get some sleep! I feel I have now read two very good accounts of Henry, one giving his version, the other more from the side of the wives. This book provides the intrigue and illustrates the politics of the time and how in many cases people had little choice in their actions. Fascinating reading and highly recommended
