A tribute to Starkey's narrative drive, his puckish wit and sharp
discrimination
*Sunday Times*
Relentlessly scholarly...Starkey's is the best study of Henry's
wives ever published... A masterly and persuasive narrative which
never loses its grip over the story or the reader
*Evening Standard*
High-powered history pithily expressed... This study of Henry
VIII's women shows David Starkey at his best
*Sunday Telegraph*
So gripping that one finishes it wishing it were even longer... The
punchy style adopted by Starkey is perfectly suited to the story he
has to tell
*Mail on Sunday*
Starkey keeps the narrative alive with a combination of sound
chronology, peppery opinion and startling detail... Six Wives
provides an intriguing new perspective on this key period in
English history
