Mary Boleyn: The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir

informative reflective slow-paced

Turns out the true story of the other boelyn girl is… boring, yeah, there is scandal happening but we know very little about the woman Mary Boelyn, not when she was born or even what she looked like. But what i found fascinating was the interconnectedness of history. Thats why the tudor era is fascinating. She was socially outcasted because she didnt ask permission to marry the man she loved, survived Henry 8 when none of her siblings did, and lived to be an old woman who died in her bed. And her descendants are still royals anyway! So good for Mary in the long run.
