Alison seizes the golden ring in exploring how these three remarkable women intersect with one another. The timeline of the novel’s plot offers the delightful opportunity to highlight three of Henry’s Queen Consorts - Katherine, Anne, and Jane. With the limited threads factually known of Henry’s third Queen Consort, Alison weaves an intriguing and plausible life story, rich with historical detail, strong character development, and exquisitely crafted scenes that at times are nothing short of gut-wrenching. A delightful literary weaving of the known, suspected, and can’t be known, Alison spins a fascinating, face-paced and entertaining story of the tragically short life of Henry’s most beloved wife and Queen.Īlison’s crafting of Jane Seymour is brilliant.
In Alison’s third novel in her ‘Six Tudor Queens’ series, the brilliantly crafted ‘Haunted Queen’, Jane Seymour, comes to life as a surprisingly complex yet morally grounded woman, one adept at negotiating the serpent’s nest that defined Henry VIII’s court. She is passionately driven to bring the life stories of the wives of Henry VIII, as well as all those close to them, into the 21st century through both fact and fiction.
