Trying times for women August 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book definetly demonstrates the trials and tribulations that woman in medieval England had to face. This book basically picks up where The Other Boleyn Girl left off, with the exception of pretty much skipping Henry's marriage to Jane Seymour. My only complaint is that Philippa skipped that queen.. In beginning of this story, she has died in child birth. Anne of Cleves, I cannot say enough about her character and her silent charm. This queen struck a chord deep within myself. I felt for her and admired the way she overcame both a domineering brother and King Henry and his court. Katherine Howard, frivolous stupid child that meets a tragic ending for following her heart. This book goes back and forth between the viewpoints of these two queens and the one always observing it all, Jane the traitor. Some of you will remember her from The Other Boleyn Girl. I personally enjoyed the back and forth narration, my mother, however did not. Truly something to consider when contemplating the purchase of this book.
Engrossing...suspend your disbelief July 30, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
You know it's fiction but it's believable and could have happened. The author does a good job spinning this tale based on history. Some of the thoughts and belief seem a little modern but overall a good read. I would recommend it.
A wonderful experience July 17, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
