a third novel about the Boleyns, The Boleyn Inheritance! I can't wait until it comes out here....And it's all about Jane Boleyn who was not a favourite character in The Other Boleyn Girl.It was interesting reading this one after The Virgin's Lover, knowing what might happen to some of the characters under Elizabeth's reign. I loved the way Mary changes from being a silly, annoying narrator to being an enjoyable character and Anne seems to be not so bad at the beginning of the book and a tyrant towards the end...
Definitely worth reading, even if it appears that great liberties or artistic license were taken with Mary Boleyn's life. There are such amazingly contradictory reports about who she was and her circumstances. I guess that's why she made such a great historical fiction subject.
