Summary
Sixteen, of noble birth and stunningly beautiful, Elizabeth Howard envisions a glorious life for herself as lady-in-waiting to the future queen, Catherine of Aragon. But when she is forced to marry Thomas Boleyn, a wealthy commoner, Elizabeth is left to stagnate in the countryside while her detested husband pursues his ambitions. There, she raises golden girl Mary, moody George, and ugly duckling Anne - while staving off boredom with a string of admirers. Until Henry VIII takes the throne.

Critics Review
[Purdy] succeeds in rendering Elizabeth both unforgettable and undeniably real. - Historical Novel Society
It has been some time since I’ve been so captivated by a Tudor based historical novel. I have to admit to being somewhat burned out by the over saturation of the Tudors … however, The Boleyn Bride has renewed my interest. I highly recommend it. - The True Book AddictClassic story of a woman scorned, who is after revenge of the most bloody kind. - Closer MagazineA rollercoaster tale which gives a new and fascinating perspective on three young women who became hostages to fortune in a perilous and turbulent age. - Lancashire Evening PostNicely written, and full of lust, greed and intrigue, this is a book sure to earn Emily Purdy many new fans. - Bookwormink.co.ukAbout The Author
