I've read enough non-fiction about Anne Boleyn and the Tudors in general to know that there is some time line fiddling and poetic license that takes place in this novel. However, this is an EXCELLENT little book - far more accurate than the current cable series about the Tudors. I really enjoyed the POV - Frances was easy to empathize with, though she was a dummy at times. I finally understood a lot more about the "game" that the members of court played and how you really did put your life on the line to be a part of a royal court.
