#TheBoleynSecret by #AlisonWeir is a portrait of Catherine Carey, niece of Anne Boleyn. Weir paints a portrait of a woman greater than the bonds of culture & spectre of her family's history. Narrated by #RosalynLandor with great range. Thank you #RBmedia & #NetGalley for the e-audio ALC. #BookSky

Finally finished this. Life has been getting in the way. A great history as soap opera; long on gossipy detail and character, shorter on the wide angle analysis than perhaps I would have preferred. Cracking read though. #Booksof2026 No2. #AlisonWeir #WarsoftheRoses
