The painter Amos Roselli is in love with his life-long friend and model, the beautiful Daphne - and she with him - until one day she is discovered by another man, a powerful and wealthy industrialist. You can read my review of this wonderful novel at To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn by Sandra Byrd Author's synopsis: "London, 1876. Two Wyatt sisters attended Anne at her death, and at her death, she gave one of them her jeweled prayer book-Meg. Meg’s brother, Thomas Wyatt, wooed Anne Boleyn and ultimately came very close to the axe blade for it.
The Wyatt family and the Boleyn family were neighbors and friends, and perhaps even distant cousins. Though much of Meg’s story is fictionalized, it is drawn from known facts. Each character in the book is tested to figure out what love really means, and what, in this life, is worth dying for. In the midst of it, Meg finds her place in history, her own calling to the Lord that she must follow, too, with consequences of her own. Slowly, though, both woo her back through the heady times of the English reformation. When he is called to follow the Lord and be a priest she turns her back on both the man and his God. Meg's childhood flirtation with a boy on a neighboring estate turns to true love early on.
And though she’s pledged her loyalty to Anne no matter what the test, Meg just might lose her greatest love-and her own life-because of it. Life in the court of Henry VIII is thrilling at first, but as Anne’s favor rises and falls, so does Meg’s. When Anne’s star begins to ascend, of course she takes her best friend Meg along for the ride. Here is a list of novels which feature Anne Boleyn:- Publisher's blurb:To Die For, is the story of Meg Wyatt, pledged forever as the best friend to Anne Boleyn since their childhoods on neighboring manors in Kent.
