By Judith Arnop

It is about Ann Boleyn and Henry the VIII. It’s dragging a bit here in the middle - get on with it! I had forgotten Ann’s sister had two children with Henry.

When I am frustrated with Ann and Henry, I am also reading The Runaway Wife by Dee MacDonald. It’s about a 66 year old woman married 40+ years with four kids. She’s had it with all her family and feels under appreciated so she takes off to find the girl she once was. Parts are very relatable and funny.

I read Katherine by Anya Seton. Great story! Had to look up some words - villein who knew?
