erdufylla 's review for:
The Other Boleyn Girl
by Philippa Gregory
My father read this a while back and really enjoyed it, so I thought I’d give it a go. I love stories told from a minor character’s point-of-view, and this one didn’t disappoint. The novel was well-written and engaging, and while several plot-points are based on theories that are not widely-favored, it’s well-researched and fairly historically accurate, while still being fiction (since not much is actually known about Mary, who tells the story). The characters are believable, if not always likable, and it’s easy to get drawn into their story. Unlike so many works, there aren’t really any good guys and bad guys - even when Anne and Henry are at their worst, they’re still human, and you still feel something for them. And yes, Anne dies at the end. Sorry for the spoiler.
