The Queen's Necklace

 

I love Tudor History. This is why I wanted to read this.  It started a little slow for me but it quickly picked up. Adrienne Chinn did a excellent job.

The book has two timelines. Anne and Mary Boleyn are sisters vying for attention in the 1500s.  Bryher and Marnie are sisters doing the same in 2025. Bryher and her sister are distantly related to Mary Boleyn. 

Both timelines are quite similar. I was not fond of Anne or Bryher. They were both the younger sisters. They came across harsh and at times, mean. They were in competition against their sibling. I guess it happens in families.

I did like the ending of Bryher's story. She learned from her mistakes in time to change her behavior. Anne Boleyn realized too late to make any amends. If you know history, Anne found herself in a hot mess and lost her head and life because of this. 

It was quite an interesting story. The cover and the title was what interested me at first. 

I received this book from Boldwood to review.
