The poet Sir Thomas Wyatt, released from imprisonment in the Tower of London, is in his father's custody. From almost the beginning of his life, Tom has loved his cousin Anne Boleyn, content to sit at her feet while she sang her love songs to another, if doing so gave him just a moment in her company. Now he is heartsick and despairing, having witnessed her juridical ?murder? by Henry VIII. Only wanting to escape from the recent memories now rending his heart, Tom recounts his story, a story which narrates too the tragic tale of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII.

This is actually the story of Thomas Wyatt, Anne's cousin and admirer, recalling his life, intertwined with the Boleyns, recalled just after Anne's execution. As such, it follows him to Italy and Calais - he sometimes loses contact with Anne for years at a time, or only hears of her at a remove. Those who are not admirers of Anne may also wish to argue that it allows the author to avoid dealing with some of Anne's less attractive behavior. It has the advantage of allowing the author to quote a number of his luscious poems.
I felt that one of its flaws is that it scanted some aspects of Tom's life, such as his relationship with his children. Mary Boleyn tends to fall out of the story as well.
That said, this was a delightful novel and I would be happy to read more by this author. ( )
