Sobre este título
'Vivid and utterly addictive... brings to life a fascinating woman who has remained in the shadows for too long' TRACY BORMAN
'Her story is as fascinating as it is gripping... a remarkable woman who had a ring-side seat to some of the most precarious and pivotal passages of history' ELIZABETH FREMANTLE
A BOLEYN WOMAN IS NO STRANGER TO SECRETS...
At twelve years old, Kate Carey attends her aunt, Queen Anne Boleyn, to the scaffold. Horrified by what she witnesses, Kate is convinced that King Henry VIII has sent an innocent woman to a terrible death.
As the Boleyns fall from favour, Kate serves her now motherless cousin, the young Lady Elizabeth. Bound by Boleyn blood, the two girls are like sisters, until Kate marries for love - and leaves a jealous Elizabeth behind.
At court, Kate cannot ignore the sly looks thrown her way, nor the whispers behind her back. Only when her mother, Mary, lies dying, does she learn the life-shattering truth that the Boleyns have been hiding for years.
It is a secret that will haunt Kate throughout her life, as her family flee into exile, only returning home when Elizabeth becomes queen. But the bond between the Boleyn cousins will never be the same again...

Resumo da Crítica
With her extraordinary breadth of knowledge and scrupulous attention to detail, Alison Weir has excavated, from the Tudor records, the unsung story of a remarkable woman who had a ring-side seat to some of the most precarious and pivotal passages of history. Katherine Carey learned young how to negotiate the knife-edge of court, developing deep loyalties and cautious allegiances. She had fifteen pregnancies, had to flee England and live as a fugitive for a time and carried a momentous and dangerous secret about her origins for her entire life. Her story is as fascinating as it is gripping (Elizabeth Fremantle)
In this vivid and utterly addictive novel, Alison Weir brings to life a fascinating woman who lived at the heart of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I's courts, but who has remained in the shadows for almost 500 years. In so doing, she gives us a compelling heroine and breathes new life into one of the most famous periods in English history. The immaculate period details and compelling drama transport the reader to the dazzling, often deadly world of the Tudors. Simply unmissable (Tracy Borman)
It's a rare gift for an author to be able to transport their readers to times past, but Alison Weir does so with ease. With each page of The Boleyn Secret, I felt as though I were eavesdropping on the scandalous world of the Tudors, and experiencing their world as they would have done. Full of tension, passion, jealousy and heartbreak, The Boleyn Secret is an unputdownable tale of one who might've been closer to the heart of the Tudor court than was ever acknowledged. When it comes to historical fiction, Alison Weir is unbeatable (Nicola Tallis)
Beautifully written, full of emotion, in telling the vivid, moving story of Katherine Carey, Alison Weir takes you to a front seat at the Tudor court, glittering, treacherous, terrifying. Katherine sees her aunt Anne Boleyn executed, serves her cousin, Elizabeth, and is drawn into the Tudor world of secrets. Fascinating (Kate Williams)
