Boleyn Inheritance

by Philippa Gregory

***Three Women Who Share One Fate: The Boleyn Inheritance*** ***Anne of Cleves:*** She runs from her tiny country, her hateful mother and her abusive brother to a court ruled by the terror of a vengeful king who despises her. Her Boleyn Inheritance: accusations and false witness. ***Katherine Howard:*** She is in love - but not with the diseased old man who made her queen and beds her night after night. Her Boleyn Inheritance: the threat of an ax. ***Jane Rochford:*** She is the Boleyn girl whose testimony sent her husband and sister in law to their deaths. Throughout Europe, her name is a byword for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust. Her Boleyn Inheritance: a fortune and a title, in exchanged for her soul. "Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three woman whose positions brought them wealth, admiration and power as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror. Once again, Philippa Gregory is at her intelligent, page-turning best." **''Gregory bring[s] to life the sights, smells, textures an[d] emotional landscapes of 16th century England.''*--KATE MOSSE***
