This review is from: Pour the Dark Wine (Coronet Books) (Paperback)

This is a hard-to-find book that I believe was first published in 1989. I have read so much about the Tudor era, as I am fascinated by the stories of the wives of Henry VIII. There is so much published on Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, that if I ever find anything on his other three wives, I devour it. This book tells the story of Jane Seymour and her brothers, Edward and Thomas. There is also another fictional character, Cloverella, that is raised with her Seymour cousins. It is so rare to find a book about Jane Seymour and I thought the author's sympathetic view of both of the Seymour brothers was very refreshing. I liked the side story of Cloverella's life, but I especially enjoyed the author's telling of the successes, trials and tragedies of the Seymour siblings. This is not a literary "masterpiece" but a good book, nonetheless. If you find this book, I would highly recommend it to any Tudor fan!!!!
