Anne Boleyn

Has anybody tried clicking on the "Anne Boleyn" ad at the top of the page? It seems to be a Christian-oriented publisher pitching a new novel about Anne Boleyn, with a radically different interpretation than that of most novelists. Check this out:
The devout Anne Boleyn catches the eye of a powerful king and uses her influence to champion an English translation of the Bible—Scriptures the common people could read for themselves. 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.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info

I clicked on it at another site before the ads came up here. Can't say I buy this interpretation, though. I wonder if it's based on Joanna Denny's nonfiction work about Anne?
