The Concubine Audiobook (Unabridged)

" So far this is one of the best accounts of historical fiction of Anne Boleyn. It reaches and delves into her thoughts, emotions, and brings her down to a more realistic level. "

" Anne Boleyn. "

" I commissioned the current reissue at Tempus (under the Torc imprint). It was Alison Weir's suggestion to reissue the book. Touchstone then bought the US rights through me. The cover jpeg is of the Touchstone edition. "

" Better than the Kings pleasure mainly because for me, Anne was far more intresting than Katherine. "

" My favorite novel of Anne Boleyn. "

" I really liked it and thought that it was a well paced novel with several interesting perspectives. I'd like to read more from Norah Lofts. "

" I finished the Concubine last night and I have to say I was a bit disappointed, but perhaps unfairly so. When I first bought this book, I thought it would tell Anne's story from her perspective. Instead, it was more of a retelling of Henry and his "issues" regarding Catherine, himself, Jane, etc. The parts I truly enjoyed were when Anne made an appearance which wasn't as much as I would have liked. I think another reason I didn't enjoy this one as much is because it's like the 5th book I've read about the Tudors since April. I think I should start spacing these books out a bit more. "

" I read this when I was 9 years old. To say it was an eye-opener is an understatement. I loved it so much that I became a tad bit obsessed with Henry VIII and his wives. One of my favorite books... "

" One of the first novels I read about Anne Boleyn. "

" Overall, good, but I got really annoyed with the historical inaccuracies. "

" This was interesting to read after having read The Other Boleyn Girl. It tells the same story but with more focus on Ann and from a whole different viewpoint. I am sure no one will every know exactly what played out in the lives of these two sisters. "

" Loved all the historical detail, all of her books seem to have an effortless quality of mixing these detailed facts with fiction. Really neat writer. "

" One of the best fictional biographies of Anne Boleyn. "

" Just as with Victoria Holt and Mary Stewart, I read as many of their books as I could find. "

" This is a brilliantly written look at the life of Anne Boleyn. Lofts is a preeminent historical novelist with beautiful description, fearless characterizations and astute psychological insights. "

" I was a bit disappointed by this - it definitely isn't as good as any of the other Norah Lofts books I've read. "

" This is the best book I've read about Anne Boleyn. "

" Never thought I'd enjoy a biographical novel so much! "

" The best historical fiction novel about Anne Boleyn that I've read. Ms. Lofts also wrote a biography, "Anne Boleyn," and she is able to weave factual information with fiction in a very readable way. "

" Read this when I was in junior high. Loved it then. "

" The beginning gives mostly historical information. Half way through it gets really good. "

" Excellent fictional biography of Anne Boleyn. "

" not wholly historically accurate but I did enjoy this classic retelling of the Anne Boleyn story -- I will definitely be reading more Lofts! 4+ stars "

" Another one of those --Read it eons ago" books that I loved to pieces "

" Another take on Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Was a little long, but a good story. "

" Better than the Kings pleasure mainly because for me, Anne was far more intresting than Katherine. "

" early on is a little dense in name-dropping to establish historical context, which i found hard to digest so i just skimmed this. otherwise, a fun read with nice creepy character evolution. "

" Very enjoyable and well researched. After all the books on Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn that I've read, this one made me think about it in a new way, with new insight. Highly recommended!! "

" Centering around Anne and not having her father or uncle pushing her as in other books, it was interesting. I felt that Norah presented an interesting motive for Anne - revenge and the want of power in return for her love engagement being broken. "
