Loved This Novel
I’ve never read such an enthralling account of Jane Seymour before. This novel made her very human and a full person. It was very good.

Good Novel on Anne Boleyn
I love Allison Weir's writing and have read several books. This novel kept me involved for several hours but I didn't think it wasn't as good as Katherine of Aragon. The author explains why. There are many letters written by Katherine but Anne's letters were destroyed. The correspondence and accounts ate generally nega...

In London the woman gives birth to their son. She resents that the man never tried to find her. Over many generations the truth is revealed. The novel switches ti...

Great Read.
I loved Allison Weir’s nonfiction books, I’ve read two or three of them. I thought reading the Six Tudor Queens would be a thin, kind of cheesy read of a topic I love. This is far from the truth. This is a very well written novel with well developed characters and a setting that seems very accurate. I was absorbed all ...

Fascinating Paper on the Soviet Gulag
This paper was written in the 70s and contains some powerful proof that Stalin wasn’t a communist as much as a autocrat in the extreme. He uses a lot of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s books which were very popularism the 70s. I agree with a lot here except for the author’s conclusion, he decides to blame the people for toler...
