About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestseller from “the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory is a rich, compelling novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue surrounding the Tudor court of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and the infamous Boleyn family.

When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of the handsome and charming Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family’s ambitious plots as the king’s interest begins to wane, and soon she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. With her own destiny suddenly unknown, Mary realizes that she must defy her family and take fate into her own hands.

With more than one million copies in print and adapted for the big screen, The Other Boleyn Girl is a riveting historical drama. It brings to light a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe, and survived a treacherous political landscape by following her heart.

    This book was amazing! It was really long but it was just fantastic. The characters were beautifully portrayed in this historical European fiction about the royal families.

    Rating: 3.75* of fiveNot bad...not bad at all...fast and loose with some details, speculations presented as facts, but it's a novel. The facts being pretty well known, I don't feel the need to recap them. Anne's character is quite modern for the day, but that's likely to be accurate. Anne was a schemer and her world was a bitterly competitive one. I wasn't in any way displeased by the more, shall we say, possessed of agency Anne; I was, however, extremely irked at Mary's characterization. History doesn't know much about her. Author Gregory uses this to give us a limp, depressed, lifeless blur of a girl. She is a damned soul, caught up in plots and schemes she doesn't understand or care about. It's hard to care about her.George is a major popinjay and utterly lacking in any depth or redeeming qualities. He exists to scheme and preen. So, of course, he's gay BUT possessed of a pash for Anne that enables him to so much as consider incest! What? Huh? It is impossible to know, at this distance in time, the truth of the sexual nature of anyone alive then. Identity constructs like gayness didn't exist then. People did what they did and, if one knew about it, one simply ignored it.I simply didn't want to be irked by a book, so I'm not giving it a better rating for its interpretations of historical figures as moderns in fancy dress. Because that's what it felt like she was doing.The 2008 film made of the book was very pretty, starred beautiful actors, had lots of swell excitement in chases and rapes and suchlike. I liked it well enough. I wasn't sad about watching it but wasn't blown away. I got the urge to read the book when I found the film on Netflix; I'm pretty sure that's backwards, but it's become a strong habit for me. I'm not inclined to believe that's wrong.

    The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory I did like it (besides the fact that I can never seem to spell "Boleyn" right). For those who have no idea what it's about, it's written from the perspective of Mary Boleyn, Ann Boleyn's sister. It takes place during the reign of Henry VIII, so it's based on truth but with a fictionalized story interwoven. It is a story of one family's rise to power, and what they will do to get there.There were times when I had to push myself to keep reading, so it wasn't always engaging, but that is normal for any book that is over 600 pages. Most of it was very good, and if not good at least shocking.I was completely aghast and some of the things the characters did to get ahead. I cannot imagine being so ambitious and so hungry for power that you would use your children or anyone else to get what you want. The fact that most of them seemed so detached from their children was hard for me to grasp.So many of them just seemed crazed with power. Henry the VIII himself during the last half, but Ann Boleyn and most of her family wanted nothing more than to rise. I kept thinking to myself, " For what, you are incapable of being happy."The life of courtier is something that always seems so glamorous in movies, but after reading this novel it make me very happy for my "simple" life. I couldn't put up with all that pretense.I also found out there is now a movie coming out based on the book with Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana. It looks good, but just from the trailer I can see they made a lot of changes from the book.Final Verdict- 4 out of 5 stars

    So, I read The Other Boleyn Girl wanting a trashy period novel full of scandal, because what the hell else am I supposed to do over spring break? It certainly is trashy -- which, for this book works, because it is a bodice-ripper and no one reads bodice rippers for their intellectual merit -- but it does seem to lack the scandal I was hoping for. Maybe it was Mary Boleyn's constant pining for her children and a quiet life in the country. It's just not as much fun to read about as the French whores' tricks Mary had to teach Anne to help her seduce and keep Henry VIII.The best part of the book relates the insane pursuit of Henry by Anne, more less driving her crazy in the process. It explains Anne's erratic behavior in the latter part of the book, and the scenes of the woman behind the queen do give her a small depth of character. She is hardly as developed as I would have liked -- why did she become such a conniving bitch in the first place? Gregory says her tarnished love affair with Henry Percy "hardened her heart," but we can see her ambition long before that occurs in the book. Also, her relationship with bisexual brother George is left a bit too much in the dark. It seemed illogical to me that it would pop up out of nowhere the night Anne finally gives in to Henry.All in all, The Other Boleyn Girl is an amusing read for when you don't feel like thinking too much. It serves its purpose, and since its purpose is hardly to be the greatest book ever, that's just fine.

    It moved a little slow for me at first, but once it picked up, I could hardly put it down. I always loved learning about the time period of the Boleyn girls in my college classes & enjoyed the movie about them as well. I will say I think I like the book better though.

    I'm currently a little over half way done with this book, and it is just dragging on, and on. I don't know why, but it just does not hold my interest in the slightest bit. Maybe it's because I've seen the movie, before I read the book, and loved it. Maybe my expectations were too high. I though this would be more deceit, jealousy, anger, and betrayal. It lacks everything. The only reason I'm giving it 2 starts is because the beginning was good.

    There's been so much hype about this book I thought I'd read it, as something easy and trashy and senseless. It didn't turn out to be easy, for me, actually. The writing isn't all that enchanting, really, and it didn't come to life for me. The characters are almost unbearable, too. The supposed main character, Mary, is very weak and passive, and Anne, who is clearly going to be somewhere near the centre of the narrative, is unpleasant. She's poisonous, ambitious, cruel, and even though she's a strong female character, I can't find any liking for her at all. All the scheming set my teeth on edge.

    I can't actually see why so many people love this book, but I'm glad I gave it a try to see what the big deal is. Historical fiction isn't really my cup of tea, normally, which possibly explains why I didn't get on with this at all.

    The Other Boleyn Girl is a largely fictional narrative retelling of Anne and Mary Boleyn and Henry VIII. Even though the book employed a lot of hypothesising, conjecture and artistic license, I learnt a lot about the period because it interested me enough that I followed up with a bit of further research (I previously knew very little). So I found it both entertaining and educational. The writing was entirely adequate, though not excellent.

    I love history. I love fiction. So what is better for me then historical fiction? That's right, add the scandalous Tudor period and I am hooked. When I read a historical fiction, I take into account that this is first and foremost FICTION. I do not take any of it as a history lesson, I love letting my imagination run wild. Now that's all clarified. I loved "The Other Boleyn Girl". I felt like I was sucked back into the scandal and drama of the Tudor household. We have murder, betrayal, adultery, illegitimate children and beheadings. I feel that Ms. Gregory was able to bring Mary Boleyn, the lesser known sister of the once Queen Anne Boleyn, to life. I know at the end of the book, I wondered about all the "what ifs" and "imagine if it happened this way or that". I thoroughly recommend reading this book and closing your eyes and imagining being in the world of King Henry VIII's court and being swept away.

    I found this incredibly difficult to get into this one but after about the half way point I finally started to get into this story of politics and the Boleyn family and Henry VIII. It's a complicated story, one of outrageous conniving and attempting to gain power through sex and marriage.I felt sorry for the girls occasionally because they were trapped in their roles, trapped in what they had to do for their family to make their elders happy. With elders like that it wasn't surprising that they did as much as they could to gain a little power of their own.Overall though, it wasn't really my thing and I won't be enthusiastically looking for sequels.

    This book is quite long, but is an easy read. I wouldn't there's much actual "history" to the historical fiction-definitely more fiction. Just think of it a novel about a time and place, and don't worry about the accuracy, and you can enjoy it. Anyone who's an expert in British history should not read this book-they'll be too annoyed at the inaccuracies!

    For being about such a complicated and intricate time and place, this book felt thin and restricted in terms of characters, plot development, and world. I realize the intention was to provide an intimate perspective, but it didn't work for me.

    Most people know that Anne Boleyn was the second wife of England’s King Henry VIII, but few have heard of Mary Boleyn- the other Boleyn girl. Anne’s sister (historians disagree as to whether she was older or younger) played on the stage of the Tudor court, yet has been mostly forgotten as she was never queen and died of natural causes. As a female member of the Boleyn and Howard families, Mary was a pawn to be used for gain, her own feelings and wants to be ignored. Married at 12 to William Carey, at 14 Mary caught the eye of the philandering king- then wed to Katherine of Aragon- and was his mistress for several years, bearing two children in the process. While laying in to have her second child, her sister Anne seduced the king, reserving only her (questionable) virginity, which she withheld for a promise of marriage and queenship. As we all know, that marriage and queenship was short and unhappy and ended with Anne’s head removed from her body. This novel, told from the point of view of Mary Boleyn Carey, is a story that blends the false glitter of the court with strong family ties- ties of both obedience and of love. Mary loves her sister Anne but is also jealous of her- they are constant rivals at everything. Anne is her beloved sister but Anne is a user, someone who never looks at a situation without wondering how she can turn it to her advantage and humans-including family- are disposable. She learned this from her parents, who taught their children- including brother George- well. Their parents care not what happens to their children, as long as they are advanced at court and made wealthy. In this telling, Mary is less driven than Anne or George and more in touch with her moral side. She sleeps with the king because her parents tell her to, while questioning the propriety of betraying both Queen Katherine and her own husband. She asks for presents for her family at their behest. She gives up her place as mistress and aids her sister’s ascension despite having come to love the king. She teaches her sister sexual tricks to hold the king and helps her hide miscarriages. She hides the secrets of the family, secrets that are punishable by death. But she finally rebels and makes a life for herself, marrying for love. Not long after, the Boleyn web of secrets falls apart and we all know how that story ends. Mary alone lives on, and historical record seems to point to a happy, if short, life after that. This book takes some liberties with history but I’m willing to forgive it. Gregory brings the era and the court to brilliant, vivid life. Somehow she manages to get the reader to care about these people, not just Mary (although she comes off best) but the avaricious Anne and George, and even the petty, selfish, childish king Henry. These characters are fleshed out, with the contradictions of spirit that we all have. I loved this book.

    This was an engaging and fairly well-balanced read. I get bored by courtly intrigue and don't really have much patience for historical romances, but I liked the main character a lot. I would've preferred a bit more historical detail and a more vividly drawn setting -- since most of the point of historical fiction is to show the historical setting.

    I did also like Mary as an interesting and fallible unreliable narrator. I also liked how understandably fearful and confused her reactions to her brother falling in love with a man were. It felt as complicated as it should be.

    I knew the basics of Boleyn story before I started reading, and the deviations from the textbook version were a little jarring (and the foreshadowing of the end a bit heavy-handed). I wish I were more sure of the historical accuracy of the novel -- wondering about it distracted me (quite a lot) from the reading experience.

    In short this book was average. I did enjoy it at first but by the middle of the book I was quite bored and was not really interested in finishing the book. I skipped a couple of chapters to get to the end which was good. Perhaps the author could have skipped some chapters and I would have enjoyed it a little more.It probably didn't help that I knew the actual history around Henry 8th and while a lot of the book was fairly accurate a fair bit of it was very different to actual history. Never mind it is historical fiction not historical fact however if I hadn't have been so bored this probably would not have bother me so much.

    Told from the perspective of Mary Boleyn, Anne's sister and one-time mistress to Henry VIII, we follow the fall of Queen Katherine, the rise and devasting fall of Anne Boleyn. Along the way we are treated to views of daily life in and out of court. I have to say that I was captivated by this book. The portrait painted of Mary makes her likeable despite her involvement in the Boleyn intrigues. Of course this is fiction so you have to overlook some of the things that happen, (there is no evidence that Mary was in contact with Anne during her last days for example) but it is very easy to do because the story moves so well. This is a favorite time period of mine, so I am sure that is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. The attention to details of clothing and daily life was fun for me.

    This is a good, but not great, portrayal of the court of Henry VIII at the time of Anne Boleyn. It is good because the subject matter itself is so compelling, even if one knows the outcome; it is not great because the writing is pulpy and a bit low-caliber. I am mystified as to why the editor of this book let the phrase "...s/he said flatly" be used, oh, say 30 times or more. Is there no other way to describe this action? I am also not a fan of chapter endings like "And I never saw him alive again." Nevertheless, this is an engaging page-turner that does it's job of being good historical fiction.

    Scandalous, spiteful, and dysfunctional! The Other Boleyn Girl is Mary Boleyn's account of her rivalry with her sister, Anne, as Anne rises and falls from power. Full of intrigue, the book is a finely crafted page-turner. The mid-section gets a little tedious as the reader is forced to follow along with the Howard family's ceaseless plotting, but Mary remains naively believable throughout it all. The conclusion is a reflection of the first few pages, which clearly displays how much life remains the same even amidst the uncertainty of a woman's role in the politics of Tudor England.

    I was hooked on this book from the moment I started reading it. It seemed to drag a little at the end, but I loved the book and read through it in a few days. I was sad to get to the end. If youre a historical literalist you may want to avoid this book, it is based on the well known Tudor family but steers toward fiction from there. If you love historical novels and wont get your knickers in a twist by conjecture, this is definately a book for you!

    Intrigue, murder, lying, lust, piety, politics, manipulation, love, sex, loyalty, betrayal. An historical novel (or fictional history) that sets the standard for the genre. I loved Mary (the younger sister of Anne), and it's through her eyes that the story of Anne Boleyn is told. The plot grips you. I think the mark of good historical fiction is that you cannot stop reading even though you, obviously, already know what is going to happen. I could not put this book down.

    I love historical novels and have read many over the years, but for some reason I have shied away from books about The Tudors.This may be because so many people have written about them and I already know quite a lot about Henry VIII and his wives from history lessons at school.However, I picked up a copy of the book in a local charity shop and after reading the blurb decided to give it a go.What can I say but "Why oh Why haven't I read Philippa Gregory before?" From the first page I was hooked and spent several nights reading until I could no longer keep my eyes open. At over 500 pages long, it is a meaty book, but at no stage was I bored nor did I feel that the story was too long. In fact, I slowed down my reading towards the end as I did not want to leave the world of Mary Boelyn and her outrageous family.Ms Gregory's style of prose is, in my opinion similar to that of one of my favourite authors, Ken Follett. The story moves along at a good pace- it isn't bogged down by overly descriptive phrases or stilted dialogue. All of the main characters are brought vividly to life and I found myself still thinking about them several days after I had finished reading.As if you haven't already guessed, I loved The Other Boleyn Girl and give it 10 out of 10. It is without doubt the most engrossing book I have read for a very long time. Highly recommended.

    I don't know how historically accurate this book is, but it's fascinating. Written during the time of Henry the VIII it's the story of the Boleyn family's quest for the crown. It was fun to read and really piqued my interest in that time period.

    Philippa Gregory has this way of drawing you into a story and getting it deep into your system that keeps her writing with you long after you're finished reading the book. This book was very well written, and totally sucked me in to the Tudor world. It really showed a side of the story that was different from any books I have read in regards to that time period before it, and since. My obsession with the Boleyn's began here, I think.
