Well, here's the first bit . . .


This time, it was The Boleyns by Amanda Harvey Purse. I was deceived by the cover blurb quotes from Tracy Borman and Owen Emmerson - two historians who have done some solid research. To reconcile my disappointment or the fact that I was naïve enough to fall for the cover blurb quotes, I choose to believe that neither Borman nor Emmerson actually read the book.


I had to buy it. It’s about the Boleyns, and my doctoral work is about the Boleyn kinship network.
