Mary Boleyn is barely fourteen years old when she begins an adulterous affair with King Henry VIII. This relationship will last for several years and will result in the birth of two children. However, things change when her astute and perverse sister Anne becomes the king's confidante and advisor. Little by little she will also manage to become his lover and will plot a plan to get rid of Queen Catherine of Aragon. In this fascinating Parker Prize-winning novel, English novelist Philippa Gregory reconstructs a little-known episode in the life of Anne Boleyn: the fierce rivalry between her and her sister to win the heart of King Henry VIII. With great historical rigor, the author transports us to the elegant eighteenth-century settings and immerses us in the passions of characters lost between their most intimate feelings and their inescapable social role.
