"Newly widowed and the father of an infant son, Henry VIII realizes he must marry again to ensure the royal succession. Forty-six, overweight, and suffering from gout, Henry is soundly rejected by some of Europe's most eligible princesses. Anna of Kleve, from a small German duchy, is twenty-four, and has a secret she is desperate to keep hidden. Henry commissions her portrait from his court painter, who depicts her from the most flattering perspective. Entranced by the lovely image, Henry is bitterly surprised when Anna arrives in England and he sees her in the flesh. Some think her attractive, but Henry knows he can never love her. What follows is the fascinating story of an awkward royal union that somehow had to be terminated. Even as Henry begins to warm to his new wife and share her bed, his attention is captivated by one of her maids-of-honor. Will he accuse Anna of adultery as he did Queen Anne Boleyn, and send her to the scaffold? Or will he divorce her and send her home in disgrace?"--… (altro)

I enjoyed this, even with the strained portions of the last third and the "romance" the author included. It is the first novel I've seen addressing Anna of Kleve's early life before arriving in England, and on that follows her after the marriage is dissolved. Minor spoiler - I have to give kudos about the explanation of her headdress, and the intimation regarding why her attire as so German when she arrived, and why it hadn't been prepared better.

Nice novel even with the odd storyline bits. ( )

Like the others in this series that I have read, I thought the story telling was good. However, I did not like the authors back story for Anne, even though she does provide reasons in her authors note. This was the one I was most interested in and turned out to be my least favourite. I do hope the final two are better. ( )

I have read the first two books in this series and had a difficult time getting through both. When I started the third book, I was hoping for a better experience, but I was unable to proceed. I am terribly disappointed but feel that others would be able to give a fairer report on the book than I. I will not be reading the remainder of the series.

Anna of Kleve is perhaps the most boring of Henry VIII's six wives - married to him for only a few months before he discards her and then living out the rest of her short life in several homes around the English countryside. I did not like the way in which the author toys with the known history of this Queen, inventing a lover and child that quite possibly didn't exist, nor the way in which she treats the death of Henry VIII, which hardly seems to faze Anna at all and is covered in about 1 1/2 pages. The book is filled with tedious details which fill up nearly 500 pages, which was totally unnecessary. Not one of the best in this series about the six wives. ( )

Not as good as the previous three books; the Otho relationship isn’t credible and somewhat boring. ( )

Anna peered through the window of the gatehouse, watching the chariot trundling through below, enjoying the rich sensuousness of the new silk she was weating, and conscious of her parents' expectations of her.
