Anne Boleyn's Memoirs

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It has been almost 500 years since my beheading. And still, people talk about me.

Some of the stories are real. Others could not be more distorted. The time has come for me to tell my own tale.

This is my memoir.

I, Anne Boleyn-originally a maid from Kent and, in the end, England's Queen anointed-will share the unfiltered version of that epic time. My story: how I met, loved, and married Henry Tudor-King Henry VIII of England-one of the most powerful men on earth. It's surely not a tale for the faint of heart. But, if you wish, join me as I reveal the candid details of my tumultuous life. And then you, too, will at last know the truth ... and the enduring power of my legacy.

Autorenporträt

Sandra Vasoli grew up in an historic area just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S. She developed a deep and abiding fascination for all things archival: documents and language, but also events, fashion, mannerisms, houses. Earning a Bachelor's degree from Villanova University majoring in both Biology and English, followed by graduate studies, she initially did scientific research, and then embarked on a long career in human resources for the R&D division of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. Her observations of people and their behaviors inform the development of characters in her writing.A favorite historical period, Tudor England, prompted Vasoli to pursue her keen fascination for the breathtaking life of Henry VIII's second queen, Anne Boleyn. She recreated a love story for the ages in her most recent novel, Truth Endures: Anne Boleyn's Memoirs. The dramatic highs and lows which marked the relationship between Anne and Henry-as narrated by Anne-draws the reader into the lives of a couple matched in brilliance but ultimately tortured by their liaison.Vasoli visits the sites frequented by her stories' heroes. Viewing letters and documents they touched and wrote, seeing the locations in which they lived and worked, she delights in sharing that thrill with her readers. Highlights include the opportunities to hold the beautiful Book of Hours in which Anne and Henry wrote messages of love to one another, and the rare privilege of visiting the Papal Archives in the Vatican Library twice, to study the original love letters Henry penned to Anne over 480 years ago. That extraordinary experience forms the subject of her next, ongoing, project.Her books also include an epic historical mystery: Pursuing a Masterpiece, and the definitive study of an enigmatic letter purportedly authored by Anne Boleyn as she awaited execution: Anne Boleyn's Letter from the Tower. All three books are published by CrownedFalcon Press. Vasoli lives in Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania.
