| The Other Boleyn Girl by Touchstone Compelling page-turner. |
| Gregory is the consummate story teller. A most delightful read - I look forward to reading her other works! |
| The Other Boleyn Girl by Touchstone Engaging! |
| This book is a can't put down book. I am usually more of a who done it mystery type, but this book is so compelling it has me investigating related books with a pure historical basis. |
| The Other Boleyn Girl by Touchstone Couldn't put it down! |
| I bought this book as an assignment for my moms' book club. I could NOT put it down! If my history books had been this interesting in high school, I probably would have considered majoring in history in college! Gregory's writing is absolutely delicious. She enhances the historical facts with dialogue and really gives you a sense of how these characters lived and interacted. Now I am completely fascinated by historical novels. Another recommendation from my book club is Abundance, about Marie Antoinette. (Even if you don't read it, please know that Marie is NOT the one who said "Let them eat cake!" That infamous quote was actually uttered by a man and incorrectly attributed to her. She actually loved the French people.) Anyway, this novel is much better than the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl," which I did see, so if you saw the movie you should still read this book to really get the details of the story! |
| The Other Boleyn Girl by Touchstone Excellent read...couldn't put it down! |
| This book is marvelous! It is so well written, and is worth the 7 dolllars you'll invest to get it! |

| The Other Boleyn Girl by Touchstone Product Description |
| Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her familys ambitious plots as the kings interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands. A rich and compelling tale of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her own heart. |
