From Little Stack
I’ve been a fan of historical storyteller extraordinaire Philippa Gregory ever since I read The Other Boleyn Girl years ago. Her most recent novel tells the story of Jane Boleyn, England's most hated lady-in-waiting.
The story is set in the summer of 1534 when Jane is lady-in-waiting to Anne, the infamous second wife of Henry VII. It is a tense and tumultuous time; Henry’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, has been exiled, Henry has broken ties with the Catholic church and Anne is pregnant for the second time, hopefully with a boy. Jane isn’t a newcomer to court and has learned to wear many masks in order to survive. As Anne’s fortunes fall, Jane’s talent for trading secrets could be the key to her survival. But can she escape the wrath of the increasingly tyrannical King?
This is an evocative reimagining of an extraordinary life at a pivotal moment in British history, told by a legendary storyteller. A story that any self-respecting historical fan should have on their TBR.
Jane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor court, where secrets are currency, every choice is dangerous, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens.
For Jane, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant's sword, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything.
Philippa Gregory masterfully shines a spotlight on the untold story of Jane Boleyn, peeling back the myths to reveal a complex portrait of a woman who dared to survive at any cost. Perfect for fans of thrilling historical drama and readers captivated by the intrigue of the Tudor period, Boleyn Traitor is a must-read.
