Marie’s Reviews > Anne Boleyn, An Illustrated Life of Henry VIII's Queen > Status Update

I still can’t get over the fact that Anne wanted to name Elizabeth, Mary. Every time I read it it’s shocking.

Chapter 11 has been my favorite chapter thus far. Anne feels the most present and the details about their marriage were something new to me.

I didn’t realize Mary and Jane Boleyn were both in France. It makes sense though.

Anne had many faults and her temper is well documented but I am not getting a sense that the author sees a dynamic picture of her.

It’s interesting to think about the dynamic between Katherine and Anne living in the same household while the Great Matter was unfolding.

It feels a bit like we are loosing Anne in the discussion about the players around her.
