Description
Terry Tyler's seventh novel is a romantic family saga spanning the years 1971 - 2007, with an unusual echo from history...
"KINGS AND QUEENS" tells of the life and loves of charismatic Harry Lanchester, which just happen to mirror the story of Henry VIII and his six wives. All the intrigue of the Tudor court, but set in modern times.
Harry's realm is his South of England property developing company, Lanchester Estates, while his 'wives' are the twentieth century sisters of their historic counterparts: Anne Boleyn is reincarnated as the equally charismatic Annette Hever, and Henry VIII's fifth wife with the shady past, Catherine Howard, lives again in 1999 as Keira Howard, a former lap dancer.
The saga is narrated by each of the six women, in turn, interspersed with short chapters from the point of view of Harry's lifelong friend, Will Brandon.
Don't worry if you know nothing of this period in history - "Kings and Queens" can be enjoyed as a contemporary drama, very much in the vein of Ms Tyler's previous novels. For those non-Tudor fanatics who would like a brief look at the life of Henry VIII before reading, the author has included, in the Kindle book, a link to a mini-biography on her blog.
The sequel to Kings and Queens, LAST CHILD, following the lives of Harry's three children, was mentioned several times in online book awards of 2015.
