About this listen

A bold new analysis of one of history’s most misrepresented women.

History has lied.

Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?

Wrong.

In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn’s life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.

So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors’ most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn’s voice is being heard now.

Incredibly Interesting and Enlightening!

I loved listening to this book. It is well narrated and researched. It was great to hear about the real Anne Boleyn not the evil seductress we have been told about for hundreds of years. Thanx for demystifying this for us Hayley Nolan.

Fantastic, gripping read!

As a Boleyn fan, this was so much fun! Hilarious, gut wrenching and impossible not to binge through. I highly recommend.

Interesting angle on Anne's history

Enjoyable.
Seems quite well reasearched.
Overdramatic narration though. And too many: "insert eyeroll emoji" and such. Maybe aimed at a younger audience. Informal language.

What a book!!

I bought the Audible version of the book on release day because I couldn’t wait for it to arrive. Boy am I glad I did! Hearing Hayley read her book in her own impassioned way was a real treat and a great way to experience the review of the tale that is Anne Boleyn. The arguments were reasonable and from a psychological point of view, they made sense. It made me wonder how many sociopaths I interact with 😐
Bravo to the author for the many years of hard work and research that went into this gem of a book.

Self serving fluff - treats the audience as fools

The author narrating her own work does herself a huge disservice through her condescending, passive aggressive tone. I could barely get through the introduction and only skimmed through the chapters, so I was able to write a review. Don't bother

Annoying narration, very average book

I normally love Tudor history but I found this book a slog. Finished it in the hope it would improve. It didn't
