Scholarly but very readable. I enjoyed this look at Tudor women, focusing on the wives, yes, but also others of the era. There are a lot of characters to keep straight in Henry VIII‘s court, but it gets easier with each book I read.

Melismatic Reminds me of the musical ‘Six‘! 💜 1mo
Lcsmcat @Melismatic I read somewhere that this was the inspiration for that musical. 1mo
Melismatic Oh I love that!! 🥳 1mo

Not ready to stop reading about the Tudors after The Mirror and the Light, so I‘m hoping these 3, plus the tagged book not pictured, will scratch that itch. #bookhaul

I don't think you can get more dysfunctional than Henry VIII and his six unfortunate wives. #dysfunctionalfamilies #photoadaynov16
