The third of noted Tudor historian Alison Weir's fictional takes on the wives of Henry VIII, this one covers his little-known third queen, Jane Seymour, who died giving birth to the son Henry so desperately wanted.
Weir has some interesting theories about Seymour, and shares the basis for them in her author's note at the end. However, I didn't care for the supernatural element (haunted by Anne Boleyn?), and the book, at 557 pages, could have been far shorter.
