Helpful Score: 1

This novel begins when an young lady in waiting, only fourteen years old, catches the eye of Henry VIII she falls in love with both her King and the status of being the King's favorite. But she soon realizes just how much she is being manipulated in other's ambitious plots. When the king's interest begins wander she is forced to step aside for her older sister, Anne, who then has the King's desire. A interesting tale of greed, lust, ambition, and schemes. The Other Boleyn Girl showed me the extraordinary determination and ambition of those who lived at the center of the glamorous court in Europe. I found the comparison of the sisters fascinating. I think you will as riveted to book as I was when Anne's ambition to become the Queen of England begins to effect her sanity. You will be shocked at the price one will pay for power! A very good book.
