Dr Alison Weir is a bestselling historical novelist of Tudor fiction, and the leading female historian in the United Kingdom. Join us for a fabulous evening discussing her brand new book 'The Boleyn Secret' At twelve years old, Kate Carey attends her aunt, Queen Anne Boleyn, to the scaffold. Horrified by what she witnesses, Kate is convinced that King Henry VIII has sent an innocent woman to a terrible death. As the Boleyn’s fall from favour, Kate serves her now motherless cousin, the young Lady Elizabeth. Bound by Boleyn blood, the two girls grow as close as sisters, until Kate marries for love - and leaves a jealous Elizabeth behind. Only when her mother, Mary, lies dying, does she learn the life-shattering truth that the Boleyn’s have been hiding for years. It is a secret that will follow Kate throughout her life, as she flees religious persecution with her husband and lives abroad in fear, only returning home when Elizabeth becomes queen. But the bond between the Boleyn cousins will never be the same again...
