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 court visits her ancestral manor, 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 grapple with guilt over how she unseated her predecessor. Against this backdrop of intrigue and politics, Thomas Cromwell engineers a plot that will change Jane's life forever. With its historical setting and complex characters, this novel offers a gripping portrayal of the Tudor court's realm of plot and intrigue.
