sarahrigg 's review for:

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
4.0

The device of telling the story from Mary Boleyn's (the less famous sister of Queen Anne Boleyn) viewpoint was genius as it gave you someone sympathetic to follow through all the intrigue and adultery and court politics. Mary's love for her children makes her easier to manipulate, but it also makes her easier to identify with. This isn't the type of book I'd normally pick up, but I ended up really enjoying it.
