goat_ 's review for:
The Boleyn Inheritance
by Philippa Gregory
I was SO happy that Jane Boleyn finally got the "Boleyn Inheritance" that she truly deserved. Throughout the book, I was pissed at her for talking about how much she loved George, and even Anne! The blow-out where the Duke of Norfolk told her what he - and everyone else - thought of her was the best part of the book. What a total cop-out at the end, when she pretended to be mad. I didn't expect her to have any honor, but she deserved the butcher block more than any of the other men and women sent there by King Henry!
Anne of Cleves was very likeable, especially once she was allowed to live out her days more or less as she pleased. Although I can only imagine the constant worry until the King died, always wondering if he would change his mind and kill her for some whim? I am surprised that the king didn't have her beheaded as revenge for their first encounter.
Poor Kitty Howard, she was only guilty of being young and vain.
I would have liked to hear more about Mary Boleyn and her family, far away from court (with the exception of Catherine Carey). Also I wonder why she would send her daughter to court?
