Anne Boleyn and Me: The Diary of Elinor Valjean, London, 1525-1536 by Alison Prince
3.0
The My Story series were the first books that I was really interested in and recently I have gone back to read some of them. I have always had an interest in the Tudor era and Anne Boleyn and Me gives a great new perspective on the history.
The characters whose journal format this book is written in is not what you read the story for. The character Elinor has enough of a storyline but the main focus is on the Royal history. I didn't mind though as the pace of the story was really good and kept you interested the whole time.
I originally started this book with only a little bit of general knowledge on Anne Boleyn. I was greatly informed by the end though, it was educational but in a light matter.
I never really knew what the character of Anne Boleyn was like but after reading this I feel a little more enlightened. Anne is such a puzzling person. Initially I thought she was an evil, manipulative women trying to win the crown. But towards the end when she lost everything I couldn't help but feel sad for her.
The sick ways of the Tudors shocked me at every page. I can never imagine a time like that but sadly it makes for interesting reading.
