Amazing glimpse of life in spite of true atrocities

Revisado: 08-13-24

I’ve read several books about life as a prisoner in WWII but this one hit me even harder than the others, which is a good thing. I’m saddened to hear that people don’t want to hear about what it was truly like. We Need to know so we have a chance to stop it from ever happening again! Bless you for having the courage to have survived and to keep talking about it no matter what!

Great history from a novel

Revisado: 03-19-24

I learned soo much while being totally wrapped up in the story. Thank you for the authors notes at the end. It was the perfect finale to a GREAT book.

Liked but had some holes

Revisado: 03-11-24

I absolutely could not stand the voice characterization of Ann, both Catherines and King Henry. All others were wonderful. Ann and little Catherine Carey sounded liked the narrator had a cold. Very annoying! As for the story itself, I’d very much like to know why the author changed the order of birth of Mary’s children and why she didn’t carry on the story through Mary’s life- only Ann’s. Perhaps a new edition with author’s notes???

My new favorite narrator

Revisado: 11-03-20

The book was interesting but the Narration was was Outstanding! Will Wheaton was amazing! Dear Audible, all books should be Acted and not read as if there were cue cards that keep falling down at inopportune moments. Will did not miss a beat. Thank you for a wonderful job.

Powerful story

Revisado: 10-09-19

I’m not good at writing but this book makes me want to try to tell you how amazing it was. I truly felt I was climbing the steps of the guoteen with Emily. I’m still reeling inside over the emotions that these women have evoked. This is a must read/listen!

Could have been GREAT but....

Revisado: 10-11-16

What did you like best about The Other Boleyn Girl? What did you like least?

Intriguing but because it skewed known history I was very disappointed!

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Stupid question for an historical novel

Have you listened to any of Susan Lyons’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not yet but loved her

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO I want to see more realistic movies. I hate based on the real event and then all the facts are changed!!!!

Any additional comments?

So many Americans read books like this and take them for facts so WHY would you change the facts??? Why follow so much history and then skew the rest????? It could have been a GREAT book!!! It could have been looked at as "Well maybe it did go down that" but instead.........

A visit with old friends

Revisado: 11-23-15

Thank you so very much for part 1. I don't know why but I can't wait to spend any amount of time I can with the characters from Outlander! They are like visiting with awesome family members. Thank you for all you books and allowing us common folk to see them as vividly as you do Diane. Your explanations make the characters even more alive and I cannot wait for more!!!

Needs to be taught in schools

Revisado: 10-01-15

Loved the story amazing history! The narrator was a bit too enthusiastic though. I felt I could never take a breath because he never did. He rushed through the book. Needs to be a bit toned down for my taste need some time for things to sink in.
