Book: The Other Boleyn Girl
While on vacation last month I read and enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory. I should start by saying you should not read this book if you are looking for a history lesson, or a story based on facts. It’s more like a soap opera set in Tudor England. I would say the book was inspired by historical England, but certainly not true to it. The novel tells the story of the Boleyn family during the time of King Henry VIII from the perspective of Mary Boleyn, Anne’s sister. The book has lots of drama, manipulation, betrayal and romance. A good, fluffy, beach read.
