Review:
Deeply disappointing read to anyone genuinely interested in history and definately not one of Alison Weir's more successful works. here ius no depth to the book and the characters are shallow; there is some basis in historical fact but much of the book is conjecture. The style is stilted and uses the device of several different people taking up the tale to carry the story along. This patently does not work in this book as none of the characters develop a believable or sufficiently diiferentiated voice. The modernisation of the language and sentiment makes the book anachronistic and is rather patronising to the reader. It was so vacuous and trite that I nearly gave up on the book in boredom but the second half does gain some pace as it moves to it's inescapable conclusion and there are some little insights into Queen Mary's character that could bear further development.
Is this book trying to be reportage or a boddice ripper ? Whatever the genre it really does not work. Perhaps I should not have read it after Ives' excellent piece of scholarship on Anne Boleyn which really is well researched, highly entertaining and rewarding.
