THE WAITING GAME The Untold Story of the Women Who Served the Tudor Queens

Most histories of the Tudor era focus on royals and their male underlings, but this absorbing audiobook takes a fresh look at the women who served Henry VIII's queens. Ladies-in-waiting fade into the background of most accounts, but in this introduction author Nicola Clark takes a firm feminist stand, reopening the narratives of their varied and complicated roles during the three decades of Henry's reign. Narrator Karen Cass's smooth, elegant delivery heightens the atmosphere of danger and intrigue. What happens to these women when their queen is divorced--or loses her head? With energy, conviction, and crisp enunciation, Cass finds new drama in stories many times told. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2025]
