King Henry VIII: the man whose passion - verging on obsession - for one woman changes the course of history. Anne Boleyn: the woman who risked everything for a crown - and lost. We think we know how the story goes, but it has never been told like this before. Free from the constraints of patriarchal myths, John Guy and Julia Fox at last reveal the true Anne Boleyn - shrewd politician, poetic muse and thoroughly modern woman - and how her partnership with Henry VIII changed the course of history. With access to new archival documents, startling artefactual discoveries and years of meticulous research, Guy and Fox reveal that the turbulent nature of Anne and Henry's relationship is tied almost completely to the twists and turns of continental politics. Delving into Henry and Anne's inner worlds with great narrative verve, Hunting the Falcon is both a major new history and a startling portrait of love, lust, jealousy and power.
