The scheming, the scheming! Unlike some of Gregory's less sympathetic heroines (Wideacre, anyone?), you find yourself kind of liking Anne Boleyn, which makes it all the more upsetting when her world collapses around her. The smart one, however, is The Other Boleyn Girl - Anne's sister and mistress to King Henry before Anne. She's the one you root for, and even though it has a "Titanic" ending (the boat sinks, Anne Boleyn's head gets chopped off), it's not a disappointing read in the least. Loved it, and am looking forward to renting the movie.
