ALTERNATE HISTORIES

The April book for discussion is The Boleyn King by Laura Andersen.  Andersen's book answers the question: What if Anne Boleyn had a son?  Henry VIII divorces Catherine, marries Anne, and that's it.  No beheading, no more wives.  How might things have played out?

Alternate histories are fun reads as they allow you to reimagine history.  How would the world be different?  Would these changes make a difference at all?

The Boleyn King is the first entry in the Boleyn series:
The Boleyn King
The Boleyn Deceit
The Boleyn Reckoning (coming in July)
