Forty-six, overweight, and suffering from gout, Henry is soundly rejected by some of Europe's most eligible princesses. Anna of Kleve, from a small German duchy, is twenty-four, and has a secret she is desperate to keep hidden. Henry commissions her portrait from his court painter, who depicts her from the most flattering perspective. Entranced by the lovely image, Henry is bitterly surprised when Anna arrives in England and he sees her in the flesh. Some think her attractive, but Henry knows he can never love her. What follows is the fascinating story of an awkward royal union that somehow had to be terminated. Even as Henry begins to warm to his new wife and share her bed, his attention is captivated by one of her maids-of-honor. Will he accuse Anna of adultery as he did Queen Anne Boleyn, and send her to the scaffold? Or will he divorce her and send her home in disgrace?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20210712. 600 $a Anne $c of Cleves, Queen, consort of Henry VIII, King of England $d 1515-1557 $v Fiction. 650 $a Queens $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Biographical fiction. 651 $a Great Britain $x History $y Henry VIII, 1509-1547 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a England $x History $x History $y 16th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 830 $a Six Tudor queens ; $v 4. 941 $a 1 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20211030010418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA808316394611EC819AF46C44ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
