A GERMAN PRINCESS WITH A GUILTY SECRET.

The King is in love with a portrait, but the real Anna does not enchant him.

She must win him over. Everyone knows that Henry won't stand for a problem queen.

But rumours of Anna's past are rife at court - dangerous talk that could mark her downfall. Can this clever, spirited young woman reach out in friendship to the King, and gain his love forever?

ANNA OF KLEVE
THE FOURTH OF HENRY'S QUEENS
HER STORY

Acclaimed, bestselling historian Alison Weir draws on new evidence to conjure a startling image of Anna as you've never seen her before. A charming, spirited woman, she was loved by all who knew her - and even, ultimately, by the King who rejected her.

History tells us she was never crowned.
But her story does not end there.

A esposa que sobreviveu

Das seis esposas de Henrique VIII, Anna foi a que se saiu melhor apesar das circunstâncias. Mesmo que no final de sua vida as coisas tenham ficado complicadas, e ela tenha morrido sem ver novamente o amor de sua vida e logo depois de ter finalmente reconhecido seu filho, ela desfrutou de bonsa nos de paz, sendo 'mistress of her own house', sem ter que ceder às ordens de ninguém - salvo as ordens do rei, que por sinal a tratou muito melhor do que as outras esposas.
Enfim, mais um livro maravilhoso da Alison Weir, que arrancou algumas lágrimas no final.
