A fresh narrative about two of England's most famous queens: Ideal for fans of Wolf Hall and Six The Musical. Readers love Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I:
“A wonderful book and I will definitely read it again,” “This truly is a triumph! . . . A readable and captivating narrative,” “So well written and meticulously researched.”
Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination. Out of Henry VIII's six wives, she is the most famous, inspiring books, documentaries, and films. Apart from the dramatic story of her relationship with the polygamous monarch, more interest and significance lie in Anne's relationship with her daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth I.
Elizabeth was less than three years old when her mother was executed. It is often assumed that she had few memories of Anne and that her mother exerted no influence over her. However, this is inaccurate and misleading. Elizabeth knew she had to be discreet regarding Anne, but there is compelling evidence that her mother had a profound influence on her character, beliefs, and reign. Even during Henry's lifetime, Elizabeth dared to express her sympathy for her late mother by secretly wearing the famous jewel with the letter "A" when posing for a painting with her father and siblings.
This narrative draws on evidence from original documents and artifacts and tells the story of Anne Boleyn's relationship with her daughter, Elizabeth. In doing so, it illuminates two of the most famous and influential women in history.
