Summary
'Alison Weir transforms Henry VIII's much-maligned fourth wife into a woman of passion, courage and mystery' Tracy Borman
Alison Weir, historian and author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen, Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession and Jane Seymour: The Haunted Queen, paints a spellbinding portrait of Anna of Kleve, Henry VIII's fourth queen.
'This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in historical fiction' The Times
A GERMAN PRINCESS WITH A GUILTY SECRET.
The King is in love with Anna's portrait, but she has none of the accomplishments he seeks in a new bride.
She prays she will please Henry, for the balance of power in Europe rests on this marriage alliance.
But Anna's past is never far from her thoughts, and the rumours rife at court could be her downfall. Everyone knows the King won't stand for a problem queen.
ANNA OF KLEVE
THE FOURTH OF HENRY'S QUEENS
HER STORY
Acclaimed, bestselling historian Alison Weir draws on new evidence to conjure a startling image of Anna as you've never seen her before. A charming, spirited woman, she was loved by all who knew her - and even, ultimately, by the King who rejected her.
History tells us she was never crowned.
But her story does not end there.
SIX TUDOR QUEENS. SIX NOVELS. SIX YEARS.
'Alison Weir makes history come alive as no one else' Barbara Erskine
'Weir is excellent on the little details that bring a world to life' Guardian

captivating
Just so so great, lovely narration, the depth and texture lept out to the point where I was completely absorbed in Anna's world. I couldn't stop the tears coming at the end! Also I now realise I've been pronouncing Kleve all wrong
it's Kleve like wafer not Cleeves like sleeves 😁

Anna of Kleve
The story of the wives of Henry VIII continues in this series which has been intricately researched by Alison Weir. I went to a talk by the author about Anna of Kleve and she was so passionate about her and knew her subject so well that I knew that the story would not disappoint. The fiction fills in the gaps between the facts in a way that is wholly believable and gripping. The narrator is my favourite so far in the series, and brought the emotion and drama to the story that drives me to keep listening, and has me wanting to get back to it as soon as possibke.

Amazing!
Incredibly moving account of the life of perhaps the least well known of the 6 wives of Henry VIII. Beautifully read.

A Good Book, Well Narrated
A book I thoroughly enjoyed, Alison Weir's historical fiction, has yet to disappoint me. A very pleasant listening experience indeed.
Esther Wane was perfect choice as narrator, with a very natural sounding German accent. An essential for this book

Did she really?
Book 4 of Alison Weir's Six Wives of Henry VIII was better than expected. I've been watching the boxset of The Tudors and we have watched the series covering Anne of Kleves so this book covers nicely who Anne of Kleves really was, to a point.
I was pleasantly surprised to read about wife 5, Catherine Howard and wife 6 Catherine Parr in this book and also the reigns of Edward and Mary with a quick mention of Jane (the 7 day queen).
This book is classed as fiction and I'm guessing what is a great biv part of fiction is .... well, I won't say as you'll have to read or listen to that yourself.
enjoyable narrative with deep and light tones of voice to cover both genders.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Yet again a good novel about a much maligned and ridiculed queen. I’ve heard and read all in this series so far and look forward to the next. Alison weird books are always easy to read and the narrator in the audiobooks is excellent.
