Pallas Poppies
Not a lot of knowledge about the people other than watching some costume dramas. Felt like more than half of the book was the first two wives, maybe there’s more sources on them? It wasn’t a dull read and it wasn’t a thrilling one either, it was middle of the road for me.
There was an odd part towards the end… “What turned the King into the ruthless tyrant of latter years was to some extent Katherine of Aragon's stubbornness and Anne Boleyn's ambition.” Yeah, not sure we can blame them for Henry looping the heads off of women.
