Publisher's Summary:
I didn't stand a chance: looking back over 13 years, that's what I see. In the very first instant, I was won over, and of course I was: I was 15 and had been nowhere and done nothing, whereas Katherine was 21 and yellow-silk-clad and just married to the golden boy....
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. Over the course of a long, hot country summer, the two become close friends and allies, while Edward is busy building alliances at court and advancing his career. However, only two years later, the family is torn apart by a dreadful allegation made by Edward against his wife.
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.

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.

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.
