I'm adding this to my (already massive) to-read pile. I've had it for years and thought about just passing it on, but it looks so good... Groan.

I finally, FINALLY read this, and of course wondered why it had taken me so long to get to it! Although long and non-fictional, this book read like a novel. I'd never really known too much about Henry VIII and his spouses, other than what most people know - there were a couple named Ann, a couple named Katherine, and several of them died and several were divorced. But this book gave an incredible biography of each wife and traced their rise and fall, and analyzed their relationship with Henry. It also debunked some of the long-standing stereotypes about each woman.

I've loaned this to a friend, so have set the status as traveling. I may get it back from her - if so, I'll make this available for trade or what-have-you.
