Description of The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory PDF

“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. Philippa Gregory is the author of this novel. Philippa Gregory is the author of many bestselling novels, including The Other Boleyn Girl, and is a recognized authority on women’s history. Her work has been adapted for the screen in The Other Boleyn Girl movie and the critically acclaimed STARZ miniseries The White Queen and The White Princess. Her novel “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. It takes place in the latter part of King Henry the Eighth’s reign. Henry is sick-both physically and mentally-and has become a horrifying tyrant.

His beloved queen, Jane Seymour, has been dead for two years, and he is preparing to make an important political marriage. Three women enter this setting and the novel is narrated in turn by all of them. One is the quiet, intelligent Anne of Cleve’s, who comes to England to marry the king. Another is Catherine Howard, a lively, sensual teenager who loves a boy her own age-but ends up catching the king’s eye. Last of all is Jane Boleyn, the skilled courtier, and maid of honor- whose testimony helped send her husband to the scaffold. This rich, absorbing novel is one of Ms. Gregory’s best because she literally gives each woman her own voice. The writing style changes as each one speak, so that the reading experience becomes more personal: you feel as if you know these ladies, and this feeling leads you to care for them.
