Description
Jane Seymour: A Desperate Pursuit of Happiness in 16th-Century England. In 1535, Jane Seymour is desperate to marry and secure her place in the world. When the royal court visits her ancestral manor, Wolf Hall, she sees an opportunity to shine and attract a suitor. Meanwhile, King Henry VIII is increasingly desperate for an heir, having changed his country's religion to leave his first wife for Anne Boleyn. As Henry begins to fear he is cursed, Jane Seymour's honesty and innocence conjure in him the hope of redemption. However, her early miscarriages shake her confidence, leaving her to wonder how a woman who has committed no wrong can bear the guilt of unseating her predecessor. This gripping historical novel explores the complexities of life in 16th-century England, where politics, intrigue, and personal desire entwine in unexpected ways.
