This acclaimed best seller from popular historian Alison Weir is a fascinating look at the Tudor family dynasty and its most infamous ruler. The Six Wives of Henry VIII brings to life England’s oft-married monarch and the six wildly different but equally fascinating women who married him. Gripping from the first sentence to the last and loaded with fascinating details, Weir’s rich history is a perfect blend of scholarship and entertainment.

Intriguing
Fascinating biography of 6 women's approaches to dealing with an all powerful tyrant.
So many fascinating insights into each of the women - particularly enjoyed learning little know facts like Ann B's support of the first English translation of the Bible.
Ultimately, HVIII mania to have a boy led to so much of the trouble. I love the fact that you know the heroine of the story exists before anyone loses their head.
A gr8 book masterfully written and told by two women of our time.
Reading this book makes me wish the world was run by women (again;-).

Engaging
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it was well written and the narrator was excellent. Weir pays close attention to each wife and gives great detailing about Henry - the book has encouraged me to read other titles by the author.
