The Saddest Princess

Tudor Heirs Series, Book 1

By: Leah Toole

Narrated by: Bethany Wild

“As England’s very first queen regnant, I must remember to keep my feminine emotions hidden from my people, and from the world, for nothing said weakness like the tearful blubbering of a woman.”

As a girl, Mary had been a disappointment from the moment she was born. Deemed utterly useless to inherit the throne of England, Mary soon learns that despite being born the daughter of a king, nothing in her life would come easily. And when Henry VIII divorces his queen in favour of another, Mary’s future takes an uncertain turn. Through lost loves and unbearable grief, Mary fights to hold on to the hope that her life would one day bear some meaning, leading her on a hopeless path to achieve her twisted fate.

Love the book

Have this book at home, so glad it’s on here so when I am on the go I can listen to it. Can’t wait for her others to be on here as well. Great book.

Beautifully written

I loved this novel. Queen Mary tugged at my heart from the moment she was born. I found myself literally feeling her love, her confusion, her anger and her pain. The fiction intertwined into history was brilliant. This novel captivated me because I felt like I was there experiencing every moment of her life. The way the other characters came alive was masterfully done. On to her next novel.

Leah this was great. I love Mary I. She really could have been great had her father allowed her to marry earlier and have children. My heart aches for her
