The Other Boleyn Girlby Phillipa Gregory has long been on my favorite book list. It was my introduction to Tudor historical fiction, of which I now have a great love. Here is a mini-review I wrote on Shelfari some time ago:
Everyone knows, somewhat, the story of Anne Boleyn, Queen of England and mother of Queen Elizabeth I. This book tells the story from the viewpoint of her sister Mary, herself a mistress of King Henry VIII before he married Anne, and mother to 2 of his children. I could barely put this book down, so enthralling is this story of family rivalry and betrayal…and the descriptions of the King’s lavish court are fascinating and thrilling…I couldn’t put it down.
