Publisher Description
From “the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) comes this New York Times bestseller featuring three very different women whose fates are each bound by a bloody curse: the legacy of the Boleyn family.
After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII of England decides to take a new wife, but this time, not for love. The Boleyn Inheritance follows three women whose lives are forever changed because of the king’s decision, as they must balance precariously in an already shaky Tudor Court.
Anne of Cleves is to be married to Henry to form a political alliance, though the rocky relationship she has to the king does not bode well for her or for England.
Katherine Howard is the young, beautiful woman who captures Henry’s eye, even though he is set to marry Anne. Her spirit runs free and her passions run hot—though her affections may not be returned upon the King.
Jane Rochford was married to George Boleyn, and it was her testimony that sent her husband and infamous sister-in-law Anne to their deaths. Throughout the country, her name is known for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust.
The Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three women whose positions brought them wealth, admirations, and power, as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed very much!!
I definitely enjoyed this book and definitely wanted these wives covered! However, nothing can stand up to “the three Boelyns” !!!!!
Hopefully Queen Elizabeth the First will take me back to that wonderful , beautiful, exciting writing again!!! Don’t get me wrong I’m still happy with this 📚 book.... but the banter between Ann, George and Mary...was /is mind blowing!! I will read the other Boleyn girl over and over much like I read Austin and Shakespeare over and over and over!!! Books like Romeo and Juliet, pride and prejudice, Little women, even the importance of being earnest!! Philippa Gregory is an amazing author!! I am grateful for the day she was born!! Thank you Miss Gregory I’m a huge fan of your talent of your exceptional talent!!! Thank you for giving people in this century books to read that are actually timeless in my heart there have been so very few although a little bit different I still love Agatha Christie but he doesn’t love Agatha???!!! Again thank you so much Miss Gregory for your gift to the world your books will be among the books I will continue to read for the rest of my life
Very engaging novel
I am well versed in the history of the Tudors but this book does a great job retelling the story of wives 4 and 5.
