5 stars
I loved Gemma Lawrence’s tackle Elizabeth the First, so was very happy that she has turned to Anne Boleyn. Anne is a difficult topic for writers – she nonetheless arouses robust emotions, and movie and tv exacerbates this. How does one strategy a much-covered topic?
On this brilliantly learn audio model, we’re taken by Anne’s early years with experience. Gemma Lawrence doesn’t simply know her topic she is captivated with it, and on this first individual narrative, Anne comes throughout as so charming, intelligent and carefree. It’s all the extra heartbreaking as we all know what’s going to occur to this sympathetic younger woman. Lawrence doesn’t sugar-coat something although. Anne describes a cheerful childhood with heat and humour, and there’s no doubt that she is much-loved, however she has no illusions about her formidable father, for instance. The characters and customs of the Tudor Courtroom are expertly filleted by this very clear-seeing Anne.
I used to be struck by the polished and sympathetic studying of Marnye Younger. There’s simply the trace of a French accent, the accent suited to Anne and her early training overseas. That is sustained completely all through. It’s all the time very satisfying to hearken to a great guide learn by somebody who appears the pure option to learn it.
