“Seven talented YA authors and gifted narrators embrace the personalities, foibles, dreams, and philosophies of Henry VIII’s unfortunate wives. First-person narratives reveal each queen in her own right, not eclipsed by the famous king or distorted by stereotypes. Portraits are distinctive and individual. Varying tones properly represent the power and struggles of each…Elliot Hill, as an heir-obsessed Henry, is, first, powerful and arrogant and, later, sullen and lonely. Together, these perspectives paint a personal, poignant, thoroughly engaging view of history. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
