The most interesting thing about this book is that it is strictly about the Boleyns, and does not just focus on Henry VIII and his affair with Anne Boleyn, or his other wives. It starts with the marriage of Henry VII to Elizabeth, and perhaps even tells more about Mary than it dos Anne (because she lived longer?), but does not really say much about Queen Elizabeth at all. In fact, the closer the generations got to our own time, the less was said about them, until the story just seemed to drop at the end.
