The May Bride by Suzannah Dunn
The brilliant new novel from the bestselling historical novelist, Suzannah Dunn.
Frankly, I'm tiring of the Tudor industry - but this delightful novel stands out from the mob.. Dunn lights up one of history's forgotten corners -- Kate Saunders Saga Dunn skilfully transports the reader to the oppressive atmosphere of Wolf Hall, seat of the Seymour family in Tudor England, and the heavy-handedness with which men treat their womenfolk Lady Thoughtful and original ... Dunn's writing is sharp and often surprising and her characterisation is excellent History Today [The May Bride] gives the doomed Jane a new and fresh voice, with plenty of fascinating period detail Sunday Mirror A remarkable writer, a lyricist of ordinary life and ordinary people transfigured by extreme emotions Daily Telegraph Her ear for the rhythms of speech is unerring, her feeling for the minutiae of experience acute. It takes a good deal of artistry to create the illusion of real life, and she has managed something more difficult still, which is to show us how strange real life can be. The Times The Queen of Subtleties offers a stunningly refreshing way of retelling an old story. I often abandon historical novels nowadays, but I really could not put this one down. It brings Anne Boleyn to life as never before, and, probably for the first time ever in fiction, Henry VIII emerges as a truly credible character in an authentic setting. Alison Weir Suzannah Dunn...weaves...a love story that is both moving and believable...of second chances at love, and passion reawakened. Daily Telegraph Mesmerising and beautifully written. Scotsman
