molldollriv 's review for:

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
4.0

In 16th century England, the recently married Mary Boleyn is encouraged to have an affair with the notorious King Henry VIII in order to improve the power of her family. When she gets pregnant, the king turns his attention to her sister Anne. Learning to play by the rules of the king's court, Anne conspires with her brother to produce a male heir.

This is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. I could hardly put it down. I also loved the historical aspect of the story. A very good read.
