Beschreibung

Politics and passion are inextricably bound together in this compelling
drama. The Boleyn family is keen to rise through the ranks of society,
and what better way to attract the attention of the most powerful in the
land than to place their most beautiful young daughter at court? But Mary
becomes the King's mistress at a time of change and when he gets tired
of her, she sets out to school her sister, Anne, as a replacement.

Pressestimmen

Praise for Philppa Gregory: 'Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing' Daily Mail 'Gregory is great at conjuring a Tudor film-set of gorgeous gowns and golden-lattered dining. She invokes some swoonsome images...while the politics are personal enough to remain pertinent' DailyTelegraph 'Subtle and exciting' Daily Express 'Written from instinct, not out of calculation, and it shows' Peter Ackroyd, The Times 'For sheer pace and percussive drama it will take a lot of beating' Sunday Times
