book 18

the other boleyn girl, philippa gregory
rating:


this book was pretty awesome in a non-taxing sort of way. a nice spring break read. it's all about anne boleyn's sister, mary, who was actually king henry's mistress before anne boleyn was. or at least, that's how it plays out in the book (the author has a doctorate in 18th century literature so i'm sure she had some solid historical research skills). i was really into fat historical novels a few years back, and this one reminds me why. they're really absorbing. and there's typically lots of adultery and deception and drama and stuff.
