Product Description
Three women who share one fate: the Boleyn InheritanceANNE OF CLEVES: She runs from her tiny country, her hateful mother, and her abusive brother to a court ruled by the terror of a vengeful king who despises her. Her Boleyn Inheritance: accusations and false witness. KATHERINE HOWARD: She is in love -- but not with the diseased old man who made her queen and beds her night after night. Her Boleyn Inheritance: the threat of the axe. JANE ROCHFORD: She is the Boleyn girl whose testimony sent her husband and sister-in-law to their deaths. Throughout Europe, her name is a byword for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust. Her Boleyn Inheritance: a fortune and a title, in exchange for her soul. The Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three women whose positions brought them wealth, admiration, and power as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror. Once again, Philippa Gregory is at her intelligent, page-turning best.

 A wonderful experience July 17, 2008
The Boleyn Inheritance is a perfect follow up to The Other Boleyn Girl. Philippa Gregory takes you back in history in such a rich and wonderful way that I have been recomending this book already to anyone I meet who loves either history or just reading a great author. Now I'm reading The Queen's Fool and again I'm messmerized. She is definantly an author whos work I plan to continue reading for a long time. I highly recomend this book and all her work.
 Another Great Book by Philippa July 13, 2008
The Boleyn Inheritance was the continuation of The Other Boleyn Girl. I like the TOBG, and so this book was a great add-on to that story. I enjoy reading about that time period and Philippa Gregory is by far my favorite author to read. So, I definately reccommend this book..but if you want the full effect and haven't read The Other Boleyn Girl..i reccommend buying them both!
Great series July 7, 2008
The Boleyn Inheritance was an excellent read. This book was one of my favorites in the series. It is written in a narrative-type format by 3 different women. This format kept me very interested. It made the differences and similarities between the 3 women really stand out because you could view events from 3 different sets of eyes.
a good read June 21, 2008
This is the second book I have read by Philippa Gregory. When I finished the first book, The Other Boleyn..., I immediately went to Amazon and purchased this book. Although it is basically fiction, the way Gregory intertwines fact, when the courts moved about England, and fiction, any dialog, is wonderful. If you have any interest in the wives of Henry VIII, I highly recommend this book, and possibly any other she writes!
Loved it! June 17, 2008
What more can one say? Great historical information. Felt like I was really there. Wow, being royalty in those days wasn't exactly an advantage!
