Critics Review
Tracy Borman introduces us to a new character in Anne Boleyn’s story: Hever Castle itself. Amidst the comings and goings inside the castle walls we witness Anne’s meteoric rise and terrifying fall, while also sharing in the trials and triumphs of a compelling cast of characters. Beautifully written, Borman turns a familiar story on its head and takes you deep into the Tudor world. This is historical fiction at its best – Elizabeth Norton
Think you know the story of the Boleyns? Think again. With an expert eye for detail and beautiful characterisation, Tracy Borman takes her readers on an epic journey back in time to the surroundings of the tranquil Hever Castle. There’s nothing tranquil about this story, though, which is full of the backbiting, power struggles and devastating heartbreak at the core of the Boleyn family’s rise and fall. Deliciously scandalous and breathtakingly brilliant, if you buy one book this spring, make it The House of Boleyn. – Nicola Tallis
Sensational - you’ll never see the Boleyns in the same way again. A thrilling read, beautifully conjured and written. Anne bursts to vivid, passionate, determined life and Tracy’s Tudor expertise and scholarship transports you to Anne’s world - wonderful – Kate Williams
This is Downton Abbey meets Wolf Hall. The story of the Boleyns is told through their beautiful home, which Tracy Borman has brought to life. Wonderful! – Gareth Russell
