What would you sacrifice for your best friend?
Would you die for her?
Meg Wyatt has been Anne Boleyn's closest friend since they grew up together on neighboring manors in Kent. So when twenty-five-year-old Anne's star begins to ascend, of course she takes Meg along for the ride.
Life in the court of Henry VIII is thrilling... at first. Meg is made mistress of Anne's wardrobe, and she enjoys the spoils of this privileged orbit and uses her influence for good. She is young and beautiful and in favor; everyone at court assumes that being close to her is being close to Anne.
But favor is fickle and envy is often laced with venom. As Anne falls, so does Meg, and it becomes nearly impossible for her to discern ally from enemy. Suddenly life's unwelcome surprises rub against the court's sheen to reveal the tarnished brass of false affections and the bona fide gold of those that are true. Both Anne and Meg may lose everything. When your best friend is married to fearsome Henry VIII, you may soon find yourself not only friendless but headless as well.
A rich alchemy of fact and fiction, To Die For chronicles the glittering court life, the sweeping romance, and the heartbreaking fall from grace of a forsaken queen and Meg, her closest companion, who was forgotten by the ages but who is destined to live in our hearts forever.

Historical fiction is a way to experience the past since it's impossible to actually be there!

I love historical fiction because it gives me perspective on the present. I like the escapism of fiction but learning about the big picture problems of the past and how people came through them (or didn't) gives me a better appreciation for the problems of today.
ReplyDeleteI like historical fiction because I simply like reading about a time that isn't now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.

I like reading historical fiction because it calls to my soul. Especially the medieval era. I cannot get enough of it or soak up enough history.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this chance in the giveaway. The book sounds amazing!
I forgot to add my e-mail.

Historical Fiction...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! I have always been interested in the past so I love reading about history in general, but HF adds that extra element that brings history to life. A story...excitement, adventure, intrigue, drama, romance (although I can take that or leave it)...a chance to live vicariously through the characters where we almost feel like we're living history.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance, Kathleen.

I love historical fiction because I'm a naturally nosy person and love "seeing" the dresses, the food, the parties--especially during Henry VII's rule.

Thank you for an intriguing review. I usually steal to greek historical fiction but I shall explore those closer to home (I live in Scotland). I've added this to my list to read in Goidreads.
ReplyDeleteI do investigations. I like finding the pieces and having to extrapolate the truth. A good historical fiction is put together much the same way - looking at the known facts and then figuring out the motives, inner feelings, and driving forces of the characters.

ReplyDeleteI like historical fiction because I like a bit of realism with my fantasy...the historical aspect gives me a peek into a different time...and a "what if" scenario... more food for thought this way :)

I've always loved history, so historical fiction blends it with my love of reading

I'm fascinated by history so naturally historical fiction sparks my interest. Non fiction is often to dry for my taste, so historical fiction provides with interesting truths mixed with a good story - best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned ;)
