An extremely balanced book...absorbing
Guardian
So gripping that one finishes it wishing it were even longer... The punchy style adopted by Starkey is perfectly suited to the story he has to tell
Mail on Sunday
Starkey keeps the narrative alive with a combination of sound chronology, peppery opinion and startling detail... Six Wives provides an intriguing new perspective on this key period in English history
Daily Telegraph
High-powered history pithily expressed... This study of Henry VIII's women shows David Starkey at his best
Sunday Telegraph
Relentlessly scholarly...Starkey's is the best study of Henry's wives ever published... A masterly and persuasive narrative which never loses its grip over the story or the reader
Evening Standard
A tribute to Starkey's narrative drive, his puckish wit and sharp discrimination
Sunday Times
