HUNTING THE FALCON Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and the Marriage That Shook Europe

Stephanie Racine narrates the authors' thorough examination of how the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn changed the world. Racine's British accent and tone pair perfectly with this meticulously researched book, which seeks to understand Anne Boleyn's rise to power and tragic demise. Racine meets the challenge of narrating passages in French, as Boleyn was raised in France and sought better Anglo-French relations. Using contemporary research to dismiss myths about the couple, Fox and Guy also examine the domestic and international repercussions of the marriage. Skillfully using tone and inflection, Racine conveys the passion, drama, and fear of those involved as she analyzes the impact of one of the most famous marriages in history.
