Book Reviews of The Secret Bride: In The Court of Henry VIII
Book Review: Couldn't put it down!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! As a long-time fan of Tudor history, I find there are LOTS of books out there - not all that good. Diane Haeger transports you back in time, and you feel as if you are a witness of the times. The book ended too soon, and I found I wanted to research Mary and find out more about her. My only complaint was with the publisher itself - who printed the book leaving about 30 pages out of a section. Amazon immediately made good on it and quickly replaced my book. Other than that - I totally recommend this book to anyone loving British history, or the plight of women who had the courage to "buck the system".
Summary of The Secret Bride: In The Court of Henry VIII
For fans of The Tudors comes a captivating drama about the only woman who could defy Henry VIII -and keep her life.Mary Tudor, the headstrong younger sister of the ruthless King Henry VII, has always been her brother's favorite-but now she is also an important political bargaining chip. When she is promised to the elderly, ailing King Louis of France, a heartbroken Mary accepts her fate, but not before extracting a promise from her brother: When the old king dies, her next marriage shall be solely of her choosing. For Mary has a forbidden passion, and is determined, through her own cunning, courage, and boldness, to forge her own destiny.
The Secret Bride is the triumphant tale of one extraordinary woman who meant to stay true to her heart and live her life just as her royal brother did- by her own rules...
