The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory
3.0
I really enjoyed this trip back into the time of the Tudors and Henry VIII; 3 stars rather than 4 mostly because The Other Boleyn Girl outshone it quite a bit. That being said, I loved Anne of Cleves as she was portrayed, and grew to feel sympathy for both Katherine Howard and Jane Rochford Boleyn, shockingly. I never expected to like either of them, but as the story progressed, you couldn't help feeling badly for "Little Kitty Howard," who was, at the end of the day, perhaps one of the only *real* children in this time and in that family.
Props to Gregory for making me go to wiki last night and try to learn a bit more (mostly trying to discover if Thomas Howard, the Duke of Norfolk, ever got what was coming to him) of history and for making me at least consider picking up some biographies rather than just more historical fiction!
