The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory
3.0
Original Review: 2009 – 3 Stars
Updated Review: May 11, 2020 – 3 Stars
I first read The Boleyn Inheritance back in 2009. Years and years ago. And I have definitely read it more than three times because it’s one of my favorite Philippa Gregory novels.
As I mentioned in my review for [b:The Other Boleyn Girl|37470|The Other Boleyn Girl (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #9)|Philippa Gregory|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1355932638l/37470._SY75_.jpg|3248536], Gregory takes a lot of liberties in her writing, probably due to writing more for entertainment than historical accuracy. However, she’s in-depth enough to keep the majority of the basic facts correct. Perhaps, with Inheritance there are more liberties taken if only because Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard are the two wives least written about.
Still, a good read for entertainment’s sake and if, like me, you’re capable of ignoring the inconstancies, it’s definitely worth a look at.
