Anne and Mary Boleyn are most definitely my favourite people to read about in history--other than King Henry VIII himself, of course. And this novel definitely does those two women justice, as well as their family. Don't let uptight history maniacs people tell you any different. The progression of...
I love this book with a passion. It was my introduction to Philippa Gregory and I loved the story of Mary Boleyn and especially her relationship with William Stafford. This is one of those books that I've returned to many times despite my to read pile growing larger and larger.
What a beautifully written novel. This was the first book I had read by Gregory and I will definitely be reading the others. She has this amazing way of transporting you back to the era of King Henry and Tudor style England.Not going to lie, I am fascinated with European history and especially this ...
I was pretty late getting to this book.I had already seen both the TV adaptation and the Hollywood film. And to be honest they didn't thrill me enough to send me running to the bookshop.I purchased the book for the English section when I was still working at the library and thought 'I must get round...

She was his mistress first and (not sure whether it is fact)had two children by him. It tells of her life at court, her first marriage, her children, helping her sister become Quee...
The book, as always is the case, was by far better then the movie! I could read this again, and again!Like other reviews have said, you have to keep in mind this is a story, and not completely fact based. This is a fictional story, not a biography. If you are able to separate the two, you are in for...
