Riassunto

Recensione:

Praise for Alison Weir’s The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn
 
“[Weir] is well equipped to parse the evidence, ferret out the misconceptions and arrive at sturdy hypotheses about what actually befell Anne.”—The New York Times
 
“Well-researched and compulsively readable . . . Acclaimed novelist and historian Weir continues to successfully mine the Tudor era, once again excavating literary gold.”—Booklist
 
“It is a testament to Weir’s artfulness and elegance as a writer that The Lady in the Tower remains fresh and suspenseful, even though the reader knows what's coming.”—The Independent (U.K.)
 
“Compelling stuff, full of political intrigue and packing an emotional wallop.”—The Oregonian
