An innovative retelling of the story of Henry VIII and Anne BoleynTrapped in Limbo after his death, an obstinate Henry VIII is forced to relive key events from his life.
Not to mention those who are fascinated by Henry VIII and his wives.\'Kevin Miller, Auth.
I see this finding a ready audience amongst the fans of the short film that inspired this novel.
The story also offers some great insights into human nature, why we resist change, and the emotional journey that often leads to it.
It masterfully personifies the various characters and helps readers see them as fully realised people rather than mere faces in a painting, as we so often experience them.
A Compelling read.\'Elizabeth Norton, Historian and Author\'I am Henry is a highly imaginative and emotionally engaging story of repentance and redemption.
I am Henry both re-evaluates a notorious life from a Novel perspective, as well as taking his story forwards, beyond his death.
Just what would Catherine of Aragon, Jane Seymour or Catherine Howard say to their mutual husband years after his contribution to their deaths? What of Anne Boleyn, imprisoned by the unfinished business of her life cut so abruptly short.
It is an intensely satisfying - if at times unsettling - read, providing the meetings and encounters that you always wished had happened.
