The Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory (June 30, 2008)
The riveting tale of two sisters, vying for one of the highest prizes in the land, the favour of King Henry the Eighth. Mary Boleyn is our narrator, she is first to catch the King's eye, then while she is bearing his second child, her sister Anne steps in to captivate the King.
The story of the three Boleyns (including their brother George) is very interesting. I usually don't read historical fiction, but I found that once I was halfway through the novel, I didn't want to put it down. I literally felt that I was in Tudor England.
If the story of the court of Henry the Eighth sounds interesting, then I'd advise reading this novel. It's engrossing and very well written.
