About this listen
The number-one New York Times best-seller from “the queen of royal fiction” (USA Today) Philippa Gregory is a rich, compelling novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue surrounding the Tudor court of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and the infamous Boleyn family.
When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of 14, she catches the eye of the handsome and charming Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family’s ambitious plots as the king’s interest begins to wane, and soon, she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. With her own destiny suddenly unknown, Mary realizes she must defy her family and take fate into her own hands.
With more than one million copies in print and adapted for the big screen, The Other Boleyn Girl is a riveting historical drama. It brings to light a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived a treacherous political landscape by following her heart.

I've read this book numerous times before, as it's my favorite. The narrator does a superb job at the task of expressing what the characters are feeling and conveying. hands down wonderful.

Excellent Narration
In the court of Henry the VIII, it's a constant wheel of fortune, dazzling one minute and the executioners axe the next.
Which side are you on?

scandalous
if you're looking for a historically accurate version of the events, this is probably not it. I found the tabloid-ness of this one to be a really stark comparison to the Constant Princess, which I greatly preferred.
