al99 's review for:
The Other Boleyn Girl
by Philippa Gregory
This is A Very Long Book. That being said, I very much enjoyed it. It is a fairly quick read despite its length, and I suspect it is greatly helped by its topic.
Mary Boleyn is a fascinating narration choice, a character who develops over time from being a young girl to an adult woman, complicated by marriage, adultery, lies, intrigue, plotting, and the understandably bitter yet resigned rivalry between herself and her sister Anne. The political maneuverings and the court power plays were absolutely foreign but enthralling, and Gregory's strengths are obviously in character creation and historical fiction.
Quite a good way to spend a few hot afternoons!
