Other Boleyn Girl

A fabulous historical novel set in the court of King Henry VIII. Mary Boleyn attracts the attention of the young king and becomes his mistress; when he tires of her, she sets out to school her sister, Anne, as a replacement. A sumptuos and compelling story of love, betrayal and loss in the tradition of Rose Tremain and Tracy Chevalier. Gregory has launched herself into a popular period and produced something with that most under-rated of virtues: readability "The Times".
