Publisher Description
Continuing the story of Henry VIII's wives-from the author of The Spanish Bride and A Lady Raised High.
With a face better suited to a nun's habit than a wedding dress, Jane Seymour has no suitors and few hopes. Then, her prospects brighten when she is granted a position at court as maid of honor to Queen Catherine. There, Jane watches as King Henry VIII ignores his aging wife, showering favor on the beautiful Anne Boleyn, the woman he would make his new queen.
But soon he tires of Anne and his wandering eye falls on Jane. Though she has feelings of affection for Henry, she cannot let herself be swept away by his attentions if she is to win not only his heart, but also the greatest prize of all-the Crown.
Customer Reviews
I absolutely adore this
Best fiction book I’ve read about Jane Seymour. Very readable, Jane isn’t flat at all; she’s a complex character with complex, three dimensional relationships. I especially love the addition of a relationship/friendship with Thomas Wyatt; maybe not historically accurate but it added life to the story. This Jane has something more to her than just being the wife who ’died’ giving Henry his son, pious and meek. I adored her character. Plain Jane she may be but certainly not forgettable.
