The Other Boleyn Girl

Politics and passion are inextricably bound together in this compelling drama. The Boleyn family is keen to rise through the ranks of society, and what better way to attract the attention of the most powerful in the land than to place their most beautiful young daughter at court? But Mary becomes the King's mistress at a time of change and when he gets tired of her, she sets out to school her sister, Anne, as a replacement. von Gregory, Philippa
