Publisher's Summary:

Jane Seymour finds herself in the midst of scandal and intrigue at Wolf Hall, in Suzannah Dunn's masterful new novel of the Tudor era.

Jane Seymour is a shy, dutiful 15-year-old when her eldest brother, Edward, brings his bride home to Wolf Hall. Katherine Filliol is the perfect match for Edward, as well as being a breath of fresh air for the Seymour family, and Jane is captivated by the older girl.

Only two years later, however, the family is torn apart by a dreadful allegation - that Katherine has had an affair with the Seymour patriarch. The repercussions for all the Seymours are incalculable, not least for Katherine herself. When Jane is sent away to serve Katharine of Aragon, she is forced to witness another wife being put aside, with terrible consequences.

Changed forever by what happened to Katherine Filliol, Jane comes to understand that, in a world where power is held entirely by men, there is a way in which she can still hold true to herself.

One of worst books I have ever read

I don't find house/castle keeping of much interest. 200 or so pages of mostly that. A bit of sex and a few moves for the next half!

This book is very repetitive. It is subtle and uses a lot of innuendo which may or may not be helpful. It presupposes a knowledge of the kings and queens of England, the whole story. It might engender a follow-up story.

Detailed and enjoyable

Despite reading the negative reviews, I chose this book and thoroughly enjoyed every page. It is a change from the usual historical fiction which often focuses on political intrigue and war. This book focuses on a family and the vast levels within each characters' personality. I loved the descriptive details of daily life. Well done.

The book club had a lively discussion. It's revealing of the lifestyle of the period and castle living. We enjoyed it. Thanks for sending it so quickly because it was first on the list.

Good Read
