A review by sophles
Mary Boleyn: the Great and Infamous Whore by Alison Weir

4.0

It's important to remember when reading this book, and Weir does state this within the introduction, there is barely any information available on Mary Boleyn. She also states in the introduction, something that a lot of reviewers seem to have missed, that due to this lack of information this book is not so much a study of Mary Boleyn the woman, as Mary Boleyn the myth.

As someone who read The Other Boleyn Girl and was pretty annoyed by the blatent inaccuracies (Mary Boleyn? Try Mary Sue) it was nice to see some of the myths that book portrayed torn apart, aswell as the varying treatments of Mary throughout the years.
