Search - The Boleyn Inheritance

I enjoyed this book, it is in the perspective of three women. Anne of Cleaves, Katherine Howard and Jane Boyeln, the wife of Anne Boleyn's brother. Jane's character was really expanded on from The Other Boleyn Girl. It gave her a lot more depth and presented her more sympathetically. I really enjoyed learning more about Anne of Cleaves, she reminds me of Katherine of Aragon and her character was very strong, the only survivor of Henry's reign.

Great read. Have enjoyed all of the historical fiction books by her. Wonderful details and intrique in them. You won't be disappointed.

This book is a good read for anyone who likes this time period and Philippa Gregory.

Good read.

Philippa Gregory writes great historical fiction. This is perhaps one of my favorites of hers! Her perspectives about the lesser known women associated with the aftermath of Anne Boleyn is fascinating. If you liked Gregory's other books, or historical fiction and a quick and fun read, this is a great book!

Gregory continues the saga of the women who wed Henry VIII, this time concentrating on Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard. Jane Boleyn, the sister-in-law whose testimony helped send the first Anne to her death, is also featured. The truest voice in this novel is that of Katherine, who was only 14 when she first caught the eye of the king, and who went to the block at 16, still not understanding how it had all come about
