The Boleyn Inheritance (Audio Cassette) (Unabridged)
The Boleyn Inheritance - Audio Cassette - Unabridged Author:Philippa Gregory 1539 and the court of Henry VIII is increasingly fearful at the moods of the ageing, sick king. With only a baby in the cradle for an heir, Henry has to take another wife -- and the dangerous prize of the crown of England is won by Anne of Cleves. She has her own reasons for agreeing to marry a man old enough to be her father, but although fasci... more »nated by the glamour of her new surroundings, she senses a trap closing around her. Katherine Howard is confident that she can follow in the steps of Anne Boleyn and dazzle her way to the throne, but her kinswoman Jane Boleyn knows that Anne's path led to Tower Green, to an adulterer's death.
Told in three alternating voices -- Jane, Anne, and Catherine -- this vividly plotted book is a fitting finale to the Boleyn series brimming with comely courtesans, nefarious noblemen, unbridled passion, and political turmoil. Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, who was married to Anne Boleyn's brother in "The other Boleyn girl," is back at court in the household of Anne of Cleves. Jane joins in a plot that almost costs Anne her life as well as her marriage to Henry VIII. As lady-in-waiting to the next queen, Jane is ensnared in a web of deception that leaves her with only one hope of escaping execution-and the end of the last Boleyn.
