The Other Boleyn Girl

By: Phillipa Gregory

Rating: 4.5

I think that "The Other Boleyn Girl" is my first novel in the historical fiction category. I honestly don't know why I haven't read more of this genre before. I have always been fascinated with the time frame of Henry VIII. (Ever since "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman" which Jane Seymour. My mom told me that that was the name of one of the wives of Henry VIII. The way she said it made me ask how many wives he had. When she said 6, I was shocked. Since then I've been very curious about it.)

"The Other Boleyn Girl" tells the story of Anne Boleyn through the eyes of her sister, Mary. Actually, the story is more about Mary, but it also gives the reader a different view of Anne. I loved "learning" about the Boleyn family. But, I have to admit that the story was so well written that I don't know what to believe as fiction, and what to believe as fact.

I highly recommend that you read "The Other Boleyn Girl". I loved it. And just so you know, the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl" is in theaters now.
