Another author I love! Okay I adore historical fiction. I love reading about real events with a fictional twist. Henry the VIII's wives or just the first two is a great place to start and it amazes you the things that went on. Granted they could be embellished but when you look back on the facts of history... well they seem pretty accurate. I've never been so interested in history before. 
 I loved Gregory's choice to have the narrator be Mary Boleyn "The Other Boleyn Girl". According to history (I think), Mary was King Henry's mistress for a time and then he moved onto her sister. Ick! 
 Honestly, while knowing how things will turn out for some characters, I found myself constantly wondering about the safety and lives of other characters. Gregory makes you feel joy, sorrow, excitement and fear with her wonderful tale. 
 Her characterizations are superb and well thought out. I would recommend this books to anyone.
