Synopsis Philippa Gregory continues to bring the court of Henry VIII to vivid life in THE BOLEYN INHERITANCE. The novel is told alternately through the voices of the king's many wives--including Anne of Cleves and teenaged Katherine Howard--as well as the jealous Lady Rochford. These women's vices, fears, triumphs, and tragedies are rendered with a deft touch, and the reader becomes utterly engrossed in the intrigues, romances, and power struggles swirling around the British crown.
