This is another first for me. I have read a lot of fiction but never Historical fiction. It isn't that the genre wasn't entertaining, it was just a genre I never looked to for reading enjoyment. Ginger Garrett's Shadow of Lions definitely made me rethink picking up historical fiction.

The book is a tapestry of four stories making one whole. We are lead through very visual language through the rise of Anne Boleyn from Queen Catherine's lady in waiting to King Henry the VIII's strong desire. The st...more

In the Shadow of Lions is such a novel, and the story has stayed with me long after I finished the book. Ginger Garrett (author of the novels Chosen: The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther 480-465 BC and Dark Hour (Serpent Moon Trilogy)) excels at bringing history to life, and with her latest offering she turns her attention to the well-known Anne Boleyn and turns everything I thought I knew about the woman on its head. Garrett dares to challenge the view that Anne was a scheming, manipulative seductress, and asks the reader to consider another alternative. What if Anne was a committed Christian, caught in a vortex of danger and intrigue that swept her into events beyond her control? What if Anne's deeply held beliefs threatened the religious establishment of the day and earned her the enmity of powerful people, determined to sully her reputation for centuries to come?

In the Shadow of Lions is the story of two vastly different women - Anne, the noblewoman, and Rose, the peasant - both fighting against the restraints placed on them by a powerful patriarchal society. Anne, a devout Christian, wants to restore her family's good name in court, but more than that she refuses to dishonor God by becoming Henry's mistress. Rose, victimized by power-hungry clergymen who espouse virtue and then live in vice, longs for hope and redemption. Both women earn the enmity of powerful Church leaders who fear the "corrupting" influence of the Hutchins book (Hutchins was a pseudonym used by William Tyndale) - an English translation of the Bible taking Europe by storm. As people discover the scriptures for themselves, they learn that many of the established Church's teachings and requirements have little or no basis in biblical fact. The Hutchins book brings people face-to-face with God and His grace, without the Church as an intermediary. Anne's support of the Hutchins book is central to her tumultuous rise and fall from power in Henry's court.

The first entry in the Chronicles of the Scribe series is a fast-paced, completely engrossing read. The juxtaposition of Anne's and Rose's experiences are further contrasted with present-day scenes, where the Scribe angel dictates their stories to a dying editor, an unknowing heiress to the women's legacy of faith. Garrett lifts the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds and powerfully reminds readers that there is so much more to life than what can be seen with earthly eyes. Anne and Rose's story of faith and sacrifice is a heart-wrenching reminder that the right to read the Bible was a right paid for in blood. If the true version of Anne is even halfway between the commonly known history and story presented here, history has done her a grave disservice. Both as a woman and as a Christian, I found myself chastened by the reminder of how many freedoms I take for granted that were bought through the faith and sacrifices of women before me. As Garrett states in the epilogue, average Americans own multiple copies of the Bible and read none of them. Unless people know and cling to the truth found within those pages, unless we remember the sacrifices that bought the right the read the scriptures in the vernacular, the victories of the past will be lost, and the battle must be fought again. Kudos to Garrett for delivering a story brimming with life-changing truths, and giving Anne Boleyn new life as an achingly real, relatable - warts and all - child of God. (less)

In the Shadow of Lions is a beautifully written book by Ginger Garrett. It is the story of Anne Boleyn and the possible role she played in bringing the English version of the Bible into being. I sometimes shy away from books written in this era - something about the way they are written is just too "flowery" and unbelievable for me. This was not the case with this book.

A Novel of Anne Boleyn

Ms. Garrett has written a superb novel about Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII. Unlike what history authors have done with Anne Boleyn's life, Ms. Garrett has explored the feelings Anne must have felt as she tried to reconcile her religious beliefs with the feelings she had for King Henry.

Anne also had to wander through court intrigues about which she was ill prepared to handle. Ms. Garrett has described the isolation that Anne had to feel with so many people of b...more

But this book is sympathetic towards her. This makes it rather strange for me, because my first introduction to her was through The Other Boleyn Girl, which was not a very flattering portrait.

In The Shadow of Lions has a very interesting narrative style. It jumps between the 'author' of the book an the actual story. Personally, I found this style distracting, I didn't care about the author (there wasn't enough details and she was forever justifying herself) and would have preferred to just read the 'historical' section alone.

In the historical part of the book, there is Rose (a, um, stained woman who received a second chance) and Anne Boleyn. What I don't understand, is how Anne Boleyn can be a 'good Christian' and believe in things like fairies. Likewise, other characters believe in things like Unicorns and such. I suppose though, that this was a heresy of the time.

Anne and Rose as characters.... well, I like Rose (although I didn't care much for the household she was in), and while I was initially prejudiced against Anne, she won me over by the end.

What I was really interested in though, was 'The Hutchins Book', in other words, The Holy Bible translated into English for the first time. That was really the part of the story that kept me reading. I felt that there wasn't enough in the court-section or the house-hold section to capture my attention or my heart. But the whole heretics and faith thing? Gripping.

Personally, the strongest point of the book was how it showed that by making Latin the "tongue of angels" and thus inaccessible to normal people, faith can be distorted. I really wasn't that interested in the plot, although since Rose and Anne are tied up in the book, they managed to grab my interest.

And out of curiosity does anyone know why it's Latin that's the chosen language? I'm pretty sure the Bible was written in Aramic, Hebrew and Greek.

I read a lot of historical fiction and I think this is the first time I saw the perspective that Anne Boleyn might have been a strong believer and trying hard to please God. It was a really unique look at most of those central figures. I've read about some of them before but I found most of it really interesting - and sometimes heart breaking.

This is an unusual POV--what if Anne Boleyn was a martyr? All the historical people are here--Thomas More, King Henry the Eighth, William Hutchins(William Tyndale.) I read it and was inspired to read my Bible through again as it made me weep how we got our Bible into our hands. A mighty work of fiction--loved it. Edgy and inspiring.

This was an absolutely amazing story about two Tudor women - one, the very famous Anne Boleyn, and the other a fictional servant to Thomas More named Rose. Both women are on very different paths, with very different purposes, but their lives center around one book - the newly influential book by William Hutchins, a heretic. This is a story not only about the famous love between Henry VIII and his second wife, but also about an attachment and willingness to seek God, when powerful people at court...more

I enjoyed this different twist on the Henry/Anne Boleyne story. In this version, Anne is not the wicked person history usually claims her to be. She is a woman trapped in circumstances beyond her control.
The main storyline though is basically about the bringing forth of the Bible to the people; how they felt on BOTH sides of the issue and the pain and suffering that went in to bringing it to the masses.

Summary.
This book starts with the story of a dying woman in our time. She is visited by a strange figure nobody else can see: an Angel called The Scribe. He wants her to record the story he is about to tell out of The Tablets of Destiny.

He begins with Rose, a suicidal woman who ends up in the household of Thomas More. She is devoted to God until she reads the forbidden book from Hutchins. More is trying to persecute everyone who dares to read this book, because it’s against God and the law. These heretics must burn for their sins. That’s why More refuses to sign the Act of Supremacy and he is willing to give his life for it.

Between this story, we get glimpses of Anne Boleyn’s life. She is sent to court to serve Catherine as a humble submission, because her sister Mary is pregnant from King Henry’s child. Henry lays his eyes on Anna, but she refuses to become his mistress. That’s how Henry starts to get rid of Catherine. Anne is going to be the one to give him an heir, but when she “only” gives him a daughter, it’s time to get another wife.

Review.
I was surprised by the beginning of this book and it was very confusing first. Bridget is in a hospital, waiting do die from cancer. She used to be an author and The Scribe wants her to write down the story. When he first starts about Angels and Archangels, I almost thought I had the wrong book in front of me. Despite the strange start, I thought it was an enjoyable book.

Rose’s story was the least interesting. I felt disconnected from her and I felt like I missed important pieces of her life to truly understand her. I liked the fact that I got to see more of More’s life. His passion for God and his strange way to show it – burning other people on the stake – were fascinating. The main reason why I wanted to read this book was Anne Boleyn. I loved the original approach. Instead of making her the seducing, manipulating girl, Garrett portrayed her as innocent and faithful. This was so different from all the books I’ve read so far and from the television show – I really liked it.

Conclusion.
I’m still not sure if the beginning of this book fits to the story. I was left with some questions about The Scribe and why he wanted to record these stories. I don’t know why Rose story was so important, but it was interested to see the impact of Henry’s decisions among the people. The take on Anne Boleyn was refreshing. All together, a good book, but I don’t feel the need to pick up part 2 soon.

Anne knew her temper was flushing her cheeks. “I will not speak of that night, nor will I speak of the future. I will speak only on what I know today. I have not read this book of Leviticus, but I know my prayers. You have a wife. I will never consent to be a mistress.” (less)

I liked the basic premise of this story - an angel of sorts is re-telling Anne Boleyn's story as it supposedly "really" happened to a modern woman dying of cancer. It does present a different side of Anne Boleyn and a different side of Thomas More than is usually presented in history books.

That said - it was pretty bad. She actually says implies in the Author's Notes that Anne Boleyn may have been the greatest Christian martyr of all time (really??? I mean, really? Come on GG....) and that she hopes we never speak poorly of her again. This seems a tad extreme to me. At the end, the dying woman is saved (spiritually) because she acknowledges the "truth" of Hutchins' book.

Ginger Garrett botches Tudor history pretty well in this one. She admits that she doesn't use any primary sources - what she refers to as her primary sources are actually all secondary sources. Her timeline is very condensed - she makes it seem like everything happens in the course of a year, year and a half, when in reality Henry courted Anne for years before they got married, and they were married for several years (and she had several miscarriages) before she was executed. I'm not part of the Anne-Boleyn-Was-Evil school of thought but neither am I in the Anne-Boleyn-Was-A-Saint camp. This book makes it sound like Anne Boleyn was essentially kidnapped by the king until she submitted to him and like her family was against the whole affair from the beginning, even though historical evidence indicates her father and uncle (the Duke of Norfolk, who is mentioned briefly at the end, as if Garrett realizes she should add some more historical figures into the book) likely orchestrated the whole thing. It's also just as likely that Anne was a Protestant as a way to subvert Wolsey and the Catholic church that wouldn't grant the annulment, as it is that she was one due to her deep faith. The reality is probably a combination of the two, but I had a hard time swallowing the portrayal of Anne Boleyn as an innocent martyr at the mercy of the king. She wasn't known for her beauty so its unlikely the king became so enamored with her at their first meeting that he put her in her own quarters, etc. - by other accounts I have read the enamoration was a result of her wit, charm, and intelligence, along with her looks. All these historical missteps stood out to me, a complete non-expert on Tudor history, but there were enough mistakes/omissions here to really interfere with my enjoyment of the book.

The Rose story line was more interesting, although again, Garrett takes a very "gray" area in English history (who was right? who was wrong? it all depends on who you ask...) and makes it very black-and-white - Thomas More was hell-bent on eradicating the heretics as a way for him to keep control, etc. It was a different way of telling the story but nto all that captivating. It was also clear that Rose and Anne knew each other, presumably from the secret circles, but this was not specified. Margaret's sudden change of heart from being a closet Protestant to an ardent Catholic also seemed extreme and a tad ridiculous.

Final vote - 2 stars. Interesting story for the most part, good writing style, but horrible use of history. I am planning on reading the second one to see if its any better, b/c I liked her writing enough to give her another chance, but I can't really recommend this book. (less)

Enjoyable, especially for enthusiasts of the period. I enjoyed Garrett's look inside the life of Thomas More as well as Anne Boelyn. I really liked the inside glimpse of the widespread turmoil caused by the introduction of the forbidden English translation of the Bible, and the way that may have played into the inner workings of Henry's and Anne's relationship. And the much broader and more widespread political workings of Henry's England -- in fact, all of Christianity. This was one of those bo...more

So begins the narration of one such angel in this sweeping historical tale set during the reign of England's Henry VIII. It is the story of two women, their guardian angels, and a mysterious, subversive book . . . a book that outrages some, inspires others, and launches the Protestant Reformation.The devout Anne Boleyn catches the eye of a powerful king and uses her influence to champion an English translation of the Bible. Meanwhile, Rose, a broken, suicidal woman of the streets, is moved to seek God when she witnesses Thomas More's public displays of Christian charity, ignorant of his secret life spent eradicating the same book, persecuting anyone who dares read it. Historic figures come alive in this thrilling story of heroes and villains, saints and sinners, angels and mortals . . . and the sacred book that will inspire you anew.

My review:

What an amazing story! I hated for it to end. The only thing I didn't care for was the current "scribe" scenes. I totally loved the scenes from the past and Anne Boleyn's story. It amazes me when I think about how incredibly fickle people were in those days, and how ignorant. For Henry to kill or cast off each wife that wouldn't bear him a son, oy! How sad! I felt sorry for the women because it wasn't their fault. What difficult times they lived in. I found the accounts of the persecution fascinating and also hard to stomach because the story was so well-written I felt like I was there. To think that reading the Bible was enough to get you brutally totured to the point of death... I shudder when I ponder it too long. So if you love fiction that transports you back in time with realism and cultural flair, you will want to read In the Shadow of Lions. Awesome and compelling storytelling.

While I enjoyed it, unfortunately I'd have to say that I think "The Other Boleyn Girl" was a much richer treatment of Ann Boleyn, and that "Demon: A Memoir" was a much better treatment of a an angel/demon telling a story to an author to write. I did like the storyline of the Hutchins book and wished that "The Other Boleyn Girl" had included more on it.

Unfortunately I found this book a little confusing. I enjoyed the storys of Anne and Rose, but found Bridget's "story" vague, short and therefore confusing. I was saddened that we didn't get to go into more detail about her and what ever happened with David. I also found that it ended quite abruptly.
On a plus side, I am not usually a fan of this period in history, yet I found this rendition of Anne Boleyn's story quite interesting.

Great read, and portrays Anne Boleyn as more of a victim of circumstance instead of the husband-stealing wench most other books (and history) reveal her as. You also get to see how if William Tyndale had not written the Bible for the common man, we would still be seeking the supposedly "Godly wisdom" and forgiveness from priests instead of forming a one-on-one relationship with Jesus and the Father.
