| The Other Boelyn Girl tells the sexual and political story of Anne Boelyn, through the eyes of her lesser known sister, Mary. Mary Boelyn enters the fashionable court of King Henry the 8th at the tender age of 12, already married herself, and soon finds herself as the King's mistress. But when Mary is off nursing her children, and finding herself wanting to get further away from the court, her sister Anne quickly moves into Mary's place, with aims much higher than a mistress. Her struggle to become Queen is the focus of this riveting story, and she will stop at nothing to succeed. | ||
