Story5 out of 5 stars 8
Each night, after dark, men flock to Bankside seeking girls of easy virtue, prostitutes known as the Winchester Geese. Joanie Toogood has worked the streets of Southwark since childhood, but her path is changed forever by an encounter with Francis Wareham, a spy for the King’s secretary, Thomas Cromwell. Meanwhile, across the river, at the glittering court of Henry VIII, Wareham also sets his cap at Evelyn and Isabella Bourne, members of the Queen’s household and the girls, along with Joanie, are drawn into intrigue and the shadow of the executioner’s blade.

Fantastic listen!
Reviewed: 04-05-23
A brilliant novel about my favourite period in history. Superbly narrated by the wonderful Alex Lee, who with her remarkable talent, draws the listener into the turbulent twists and turns of life at Tudor Court and beyond. The colourful characters are brought to life in your imagination and the storyline is gripping and emotive, giving you a great insight and understanding to the stark contrast in society during those times. A highly recommended listen!
