This audiobook was very well-done! The narrators spoke in British accents, with varying voices for each character. It was abridged very well, with the main highlights of the book included. I highly recommend this book!
What an intriguing point of view. This book was creative in presenting three very different women's experiences of the same time frame. If more history lessons had been this entertaining, I would have really enjoyed history in school more! It sparked a new interest for me in king Henry which I hadn't before.
