I enjoyed ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’, it’s about King Henry the eighth and his disastrous marriages to his first wife Catherine and Anne Boleyn. They may have some embellishment but the general story is their, the ‘Boleyn Inheritance’ was good to. That one is about King Henry as well and his marriage to Katherine Howard and Anne of Cleves.
I enjoyed them, they are both writen by Phillipa Gregory
