Book Description
Over the next days, as I went about my business, the King was rarely far from my thoughts. Finally, admitting to myself that my mind was constantly preoccupied with images of him, I decided to spend some time alone in my chamber attempting to sift through my sentiments for the truth.
Gain unprecedented access to one of history’s most tumultuous love stories in Sandra Vasoli’s riveting debut novel, Je Anne Boleyn.
Sixteenth-century England witnessed a roiling tide of changes—most of which were fueled by the scandalous romance between King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
The first volume of this two-part series tells the story of what really happened from Anne’s own point of view. In sumptuous detail, Je Anne Boleyn recounts the moment the lovers first met, as well as the powerful and climactic consequences that ensued.
Scrupulously researched, this fictional memoir welcomes readers into the head and heart of one of history’s most misunderstood women. Learn how much Anne valued her female friendships, her desperate desire to bear children, and what lay behind her instinctive mistrust of Cardinal Wolsey.
Readers will gladly come to know Anne Boleyn like never before.
About the Author
Sandra Vasoli earned a bachelor’s degree in English and biology from Villanova University before embarking on a thirty-five-year career in human resources for a large international company.
Having written essays, stories, and articles all her life, Vasoli was prompted by her overwhelming fascination with the Tudor dynasty to try her hand at writing fiction.
While researching what would eventually become her Je Anne Boleyn series, Vasoli was granted unprecedented access to the Papal Library. There she was able to read the original love letters from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn—an event that contributed greatly to the creation of her fictional memoir.
Vasoli currently lives in Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania, with her husband and two greyhounds.

Read this on my kindle and would love a copy for my Tudor book collection!
How very interesting that the author has actually seen ans read the couples love letters.
This book sounds interesting and different than other books about Anne Boleyn. I like that is is only from her perspective and that it will talk about her friends. I don’t think I’ve read a book, fiction or non fiction, that mentioned much of her female friendships and what she thought of them.
I would love this book, its on my to get and read list.
Always exciting to see more Anne Boleyn! This sounds well researched and an informative read!
How wonderful she was able to read the original love letters from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn. At the time it must have felt like a gift. I think I would have cried. 🙂 Thank you for this giveaway.
This book sounds amazing!
It’d be so fascinating to read the history as Anne.
The fact that the author received access to the Papal Library is highly intriguing. I think I remember reading a forward about this visit to the library at an earlier date, where she first had access to the love letters, and so would be so excited to receive this book!
I’d love to read Je Anne Boleyn!

What an honour to be granted unprecedented access to the Papal Library and to hold the actual letters, that Henry wrote! It’s a shame, that these letters are hidden away and few get to see them. Even more a shame, that the fate of Anne’s letters is unknown! Thank you for the giveaway.
