Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Mary and Anne Boleyn are sisters different in every way. Mary is blond, sweet, artless and young; Anne is dark, fiery, temperamental and brilliant. Born to an ambitious family, they are brought to court as girls and dangled like jewels set to capture the favor of the king. Long married to Katherine of Aragon, Henry VIII has grown dubious of her ever producing a male heir. So it is perhaps natural that Henry is drawn to Mary's youth and beauty. Never mind that Mary is already married to another. Her family insists that for the advancement of the Boleyns, Mary must acquiesce. She does more than that. She falls in love. But no woman can hold the king for long, and though they share a passionate affair and she gives him a healthy bastard son, Henry's interest in Mary eventually wanes and the Boleyns chart a new plan: they will offer Anne in Mary's stead. The Other Boleyn Girl is the story of two sisters who compete for the love of a king. But this is no ordinary rivalry. For both Anne and Mary are pawns of their ruthless family, and neither will find happiness with Henry. While it is Anne who wins the crown, it is Mary who will find love in a destiny of her own making. Synopsis:The first in Gregorys spectacular bestselling Tudor series is soon to be a major motion picture starring Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Eric Bana--a rich and compelling tale of two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king. Abridged. 5 CDs. Synopsis:THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER...NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king. A rich and compelling novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her heart. When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled, 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 she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king and take her fate into her own hands.
