Book Reviews of Vengeance Is Mine: A Novel of Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, and Lady Rochford--the woman who helped destroy them both.

Book Review: Lady Rochford...what a crazy bitch!
Summary: 4 Stars

I've read alot of Historical Fiction about the Tudors as well as non fictional research and while no one can be sure what happened in the bedrooms of Anne Boleyn it seems that Jane Parker Boleyn gave false testimony about her husband, George committing incest with Anne. This book has her sneaking and spying like the obsessed crazy woman she was. When Katherine Howard becomes Queen Jane is her confidant and tells Katherine's story and what a story that is. I want to do more research to find out how much of it is documented. The book is short (246 pages) and entertaining.

Summary of Vengeance Is Mine: A Novel of Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, and Lady Rochford--the woman who helped destroy them both.

There was room for only one woman in George Boleyn's heart-his sister, the mercurial and fascinating Anne Boleyn, who was destined to change history and wear a crown. To his adoring wife, Lady Jane Rochford, he was cold and indifferent.

When Anne failed to give Henry VIII the son she had promised him, and he was tiring of her tart tongue and tantrums, false charges of adultery were hastily concocted. Lady Rochford provided the crowning touch when she accused her husband and his beloved sister of incest. Both died upon the scaffold.

Lady Rochford paid dearly for her treachery. She was left alone, shunned and friendless, until wild, sweet, wanton Katherine Howard danced into her life and became Henry's fifth queen.

When Katherine, disgusted by the obese and impotent King's fumbling attempts to make love to her, took a lusty young lover Lady Rochford helped them meet. And when the truth came out, she was the first to betray them.

As she sits in the Tower of London, being tormented by the ghosts of George and Anne Boleyn, and awaiting her own appointment with the headsman's axe, Lady Rochford takes up her pen. Vengeance Is Mine is her story.
