ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory is a historical novel set in the court of King Henry VIII. The story follows Mary Boleyn, who initially becomes the king's mistress. When the king tires of her, Mary's family pushes her sister, Anne, to take her place. The novel explores the complex relationship between the two sisters as they navigate the treacherous world of court intrigue, political ambition, and romantic desire. The Boleyn family's desperate desire to rise in society drives much of the plot as they manipulate the sisters to gain the king's favor. The book delves into themes of power, betrayal, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of status and love in Tudor England.
