Henry VIII: The Heart & The Crown
Alison Weir
Six wives. One King. You know their stories. Now it’s time to hear his. In grand royal palaces, Prince Harry grows up dreaming of knights and chivalry – and the golden age of kings that awaits his older brother. But Arthur’s untimely death sees Harry crowned King Henry of England. As his power and influence extends, so commences a lifelong battle between head and heart, love and duty. Henry rules by divine right, yet his prayers for a son go unanswered. The future of his great dynasty depends on an heir. And the crown weighs heavy on a king with all but his one true desire.
NONE OF THIS IS TRUE
Lisa Jewell
Celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub, podcaster Alix Summer meets an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. A few days later, they bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie says she thinks she would be an interesting subject for Alix’s podcast. Alix agrees to a trial interview and indeed, Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated. But slowly she starts to realise that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it Josie has cajoled her way into Alix’s life – and into her home. Soon Alix begins to wonder who is Josie Fair really? And what has she done?
