Amenable Women - Mavis Cheek

A quirky book that blends historical drama about Anna of Cleves (narrated by a portrait, no less) with an 'aga-saga' style story about a widow adjusting to life lived outside of the shadow of her irritatingly flamboyant husband. A fun and satisfying read, although I preferred the historical sections, which avoided the tendency of the modern-day narrative to drift towards caricature.
