GREGORY, PHILIPPA / CARR, PHILIPPA
The acclaimed international bestseller set around the Tudor court, during the years when Henry VIII traded his mistress Mary Boleyn for courtship of her sister Anne - and tracing the extraordinary events that changed the course of a country?s history.
When Henry VIII tires of pretty young Mary Boleyn, her powerful family instructs her to promote her sister, Anne, as a replacement. But Anne Boleyn, newly returned from the French court, intelligent and spirited, doesn?t agree to be Henry?s mistress ? only his wife. PItting the king?s desperation for an heir against his powerful advisors ? Wolsey, Cromwell and Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk ? what Anne brings about will change the course of a country?s history.
Told with all of Philippa Gregory?s characteristic perceptiveness, backed by meticulous historical research and superb storytelling skills, The Other Boleyn Girl brings a legendary court, its politics, personalities and scheming vividly to life.
