Critics Review
A tribute to Starkey’s narrative drive, his puckish wit and sharp discrimination
A tribute to Starkey’s narrative drive, his puckish wit and sharp discrimination * Sunday Times *Relentlessly scholarly…Starkey’s is the best study of Henry’s wives ever published… A masterly and persuasive narrative which never loses its grip over the story or the reader * Evening Standard *High-powered history pithily expressed… This study of Henry VIII’s women shows David Starkey at his best * Sunday Telegraph *So gripping that one finishes it wishing it were even longer… The punchy style adopted by Starkey is perfectly suited to the story he has to tell * Mail on Sunday *Starkey keeps the narrative alive with a combination of sound chronology, peppery opinion and startling detail… Six Wives provides an intriguing new perspective on this key period in English history * Daily Telegraph *An extremely balanced book…absorbing * Guardian *
