... than Catherine Howard, but of the books I've read featuring Catherine Howard (I think my Catherine Howard count comes to The Boleyn Inheritance and My Lady of Cleves, if anyone is curious), I think this one is probably the best. Catherine is portrayed as a victim of her family's ambition ...

... better ones. I really enjoyed the tudor books The Constant Princess (an inspiring heroine), The Other Boleyn Girl, and The Boleyn Inheritance. ETA In fact, going by the reviews, some people who read Wideacres first were so put off they decided not to read any more by her!

I've recently finished reading "The Boleyn Inheritance", which is told from the three alternating viewpoints of Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard & Jane (Boleyn) Rochford).

... books for an Historical Fiction discussion class/group: "The Clan of the Cave Bear", The Birth of Venius" and "The Boleyn Inheritance". The place of women in a society/group is a theme common to the three novels, although each takes place in a different time/era and place. The first ...

Finished "The Boleyn Inheritance" today. It certainly presents interesting points of view of the latter period of Henry VIII's rule; the powerplays that went on in his court, the helplessness of the individuals & of the women ensnared in those power struggles.

I saw the film adaptation of "The Other Boleyn Girl" when it was in theaters, and am just finishing "The Boleyn Inheritance" (for an Historical fiction discussion group). I'm finding "The Boleyn Inheritance" interesting, since it presents the story from three different women's points of view. I ...

... three different titles for Historical fiction class ("The Clan of the Cave Bear", then "The Birth of Venus", and now "The Boleyn Inheritance"). Last spring, I read part one of "Anna Karinina", set that aside to read "The Portrait of a Lady", then returned to reading "Anna Karinina". ...

Continuing with "The Boleyn Inheritance"...OK so far.

Having finished "The Age of Innocence", I've started "The Boleyn Inheritance".

... to read later, after I find & read two additional 'historical fiction' novels: "The Birth of Venus" by Sarah Dunant, and "The Boleyn Inheritance" by Philippa Gregory, for my "Historical Fiction" discussion group. Next, I'll be starting "The Age of Innocence" for a 'fiction' read & discuss ...

Last week i read Origin in Death and Survivor in Death by J.D. Robb AKA Nora Roberts. Aswell as The Boleyn Inheritance. Enjoyed all of them, and am currently deciding on what to read next. Perhaps some more crime novels

I finished (24) Pride and Prejudice almost a week ago and (25) The Boleyn Inheritance a few hours ago. I'm still reading In Cold Blood and Death with interruptions

46. The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory Spoiler alert! Yet another book about the Tudors. But with a twist. This book is told from the first person perspective, by three different women (Jane Rochford, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard). The widely different characters of the ...

... it. I know, I know, what was I thinking? To be perfectly honest, I have read and enjoyed both The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance - but I enjoyed them in the way that I enjoy watching a Kate Hudson movie or reading a tabloid. Everyone needs a break now and then, and today I ...

33. The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory

... Other Queen (I actually thought The Other Queen was pretty bad), and she does the multiple voices with much more skill in The Boleyn Inheritance. You might as well skip The Virgin's Lover, the woman seems to have a serious grudge against Elizabeth I.

8. The Boleyn Inheritence by Philippa Gregory I didn't enjoy this one as much as The Other Boleyn Girl, I didn't like the three first person narrators, especially since I knew enough history to know at least one was going to end up dead. I guess it would have been difficult to write the ...

... alone as far as how they were written. To get the best timeline I would read them in this order: The Other Boleyn Girl, The Boleyn Inheritance, and The Queen's Fool. I noticed you left out some of her other books and I approve, the three you picked are, in my opinion, the best three. Her ...

What order should I read The Boleyn Inheritance, The Other Boleyn Girl, and The Queen's Fool? Will they stand alone? Am I missing any that are in paperback? Are they all equally worth reading?

Well The Boleyn Inheritance is the next book chronologically which is about Henry's forth and fifth wives Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard. If you remember Jane Parker (george boleyn's wife) she's also in this book and my god what a cow that woman is. There's The Queen's Fool is set during M ...

... that. Having loved The Other Boleyn Girl, I definitely recommend it to fans of historical fiction, and follow it with The Boleyn Inheritance if you must, but leave the rest alone. I think I've finally learned my lesson and will be avoiding Gregory from now on. (ETA cover art)

... The Other Boleyn Girl doesn't deal with Jane as Henry's wife, just as his not-quite mistress and I'm pretty sure that The Boleyn Inheritance only covers Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard, not Katherine Parr at all, so she's still missing wives 3 and 6. Also, The Queen's Fool is more ...

Hi Nobis - I read The Boleyn Inheritance last year, and I agree, it was better than The Other Boleyn Girl. Neither are exactly great literature, but still a lot of fun to read! I loved the character of Jane Parker, but one of the things that always bothers me about these books is that none of ...

... I don't know much about the Stalin era or Soviet Union, but this book definitely made me interested to learn more. 2 The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory I enjoyed this book more than The Other Boleyn Girl. I really liked the way the author poytrayed Anne of Cleaves and Jane Boley ...

... and put it in here. Christmas has worn me out! But these are the ones that I got from my mom and husband this morning: The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory Harry, A History by Melissa ...

Try The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory for Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard. I liked it better than Gregory's other book, The Other Boleyn Girl. For non- fiction( actually after reading The Other Boleyn Girl I ran to) I went to Six Wives: the Queens of Henry VIIIby David Star ...

... Else by Samantha Hunt The Right Hand of Sleep by John Wray The Air We Breathe by Andrea Barrett and The Boleyn Inheritance was one of Philippa Gregory's better books, in my opinion. I'm currently re-reading Burr since Vidal is appearing at the conference and it ...

... with this one, which I read while I was quite ill. It certainly made me feel better. 40. Constant Princess and 41. Boleyn Inheritance both by Philippa Gregory. These were great reads. The author certainly researches the period, and gives us enough detail to take us right into the ...

#68 ktleyed I (and many other people) have been disappointed by The Boleyn Inheritance and her latest one, The Other Queen. It seems to me that she is churning them out far too fast, with no consideration for characterisation, detailing or storytelling. Her later ones are nowhere near as ...

I was very disappointed in The Boleyn Inheritence by Philippa Gregory. I liked some of the earlier books in her Tudor series, but this one seemed just like a throwaway. I couldn't stand it, I didn't care for or care about anyone in the book - they all got what they deserved!

... it’s been downhill since The Other Boleyn Girl. I did enjoy The Queen’s Fool and The Virgin’s Lover, and The Boleyn Inheritance was up to par as well. But after The Constant Princess and now this, The Other Queen, I can’t help but feel that Gregory is just dashing them ...

The Boleyn Inheritance was returned to the friend who had loaned it to me. I had loaned her The Constant Princess and The Other Boleyn Girl, which she enjoyed so much that she offered to buy the last one. Very nice of her, I thought, though I'm a bit sad that I don't own the whole set.

... on The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory. Let me start by saying that I'm not a gung ho Gregory fan. I enjoyed The Boleyn Inheritance; thought The Other Boleyn Girl, The Queen's Fool, and Virgin Earth were OK; and really disliked The Constant Princess. I haven't read any of ...

The Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence The Boleyn Inheritance, by Philippa Gregory The Last Boleyn, by Karen Harper The Blue Last, by Martha Grimes

... why, it just did not grab me at all. I think the incest story line put me off. I really enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, enjoying the latter more. I have The Wise Woman on my TBR pile, am looking forward to it :-)

... why, it just did not grab me at all. I think the incest story line put me off. I really enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, enjoying the latter more. I have A Wise Woman on my TBR pile, am looking forward to it :-)

I was disappointed in The Boleyn Inheritence as well. Drat, I was hoping The Other Queen would be a good book. Guess, I'll pass on this one.

... books seemed to be the best ones, I hear her latest The Other Queen is not that great. I was very disappointed with The Boleyn Inheritence.

#97 - lunacat - I agree, her later books were not as good, I really didn't like The Boleyn Inheritence one bit, though I did enjoy The Other Boleyn Girl and the one on Katharine of Aragon. I haven't read her latest yet, The Other Queen I think it is?

Review now up for The Boleyn Inheritance One of the better books by Gregory that I've read....or rather listened to...in a long while. I loved the three person narrative that gave a well rounded story and really fleshed out the lives of Henry's 4th and 5th wives. If you like The Other Boleyn Gi ...

The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory - beautifully written sequel to The Other Boleyn Girl

Hey compski! Thanks for stopping by! I did like The Boleyn Inheritance quite a bit actually. One of the things I particularly enjoyed was that the chapters were much shorter than the other books in the series. This was handy since it was my lunch time reading. I also liked getting 3 ...

99: Interesting. I've been working my way through the series as well and recently finished The Boleyn Inheritance which was my favorite so far. I really enjoyed the short chapter (partly because it was my lunch reading, so I was always able to finish a chapter) and getting the different ...

Hi Bib! You have some good books here. It looks like you read more than three a year :) How did The Boleyn Inheritance turn out. Did you like it?

I finished The Boleyn Inheritance last night and will get started on The Queen's Fool on Monday. Today I'm concentrating on The Book Thief. I doubt I'll finish it, as Holly is having a BBQ, but I'm going to give it my best shot! ETA: Oh yeah, and I started Deathly Hallows yesterday.... ...

... I've read all of those. was very disappointed by The Constant Princess. Loved(!) tOBG, Q'sF and V'sL, enjoyed The Boleyn Inheritance, but not as much. edited to fix fact that it previously made no sense. Thanks bib!

Yes, I'm really loving The Boleyn Inheritance. I recommend giving it a shot!

18: So The Boleyn Inheritance is good so far? I read The Other Boleyn Girl and absolutely loved it, but I was lukewarm on all the other Philippa Gregory books I have read: The Queen's Fool, The Constant Princess, and The Virgin's Lover.

... miss. I like The Other Boleyn Girl pretty well, was bored by The Constant Princess and am having a tough time putting The Boleyn Inheritance down.

#33 The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory - So-so, didn't really like it all that much. I thought her previous Tudor books were much better. I barely liked a single character in this one! Review

Still working on my Tudor books and just finished The Boleyn Inheritance - what a disappointment! I barely liked it. I could not get into the characters, hated the choppiness of the chapters and the changing viewpoints of the three women, and I found it repulsive imagining big fat gross Henry ...

I just finished The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory and was disappointed with it, and now I am starting A Highlander for Christmas by Sandy Blair. I've been looking forward to reading this, since I really like this author!

I just finished The Boleyn Inheritence, I found it a bit disappointing, not nearly as good as her other Tudor novels. I didn't hate it, but I don't think I liked a single character in this book!

17. The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory - (read from 5/4-5/11) This was the second book I have read by Gregory. I absolutely loved The Other Boleyn Girl, so I was excited to read this book. This book focuses on Jane Boleyn, the wife of George Boleyn (Anne Boleyn's brother); Anne of Cleves ...

I liked The Boleyn Inheritance best of all of Gregory's Tudor novels. Her historical inaccuracies drive me nuts (worst of all was The Constant Princess). This one bothered me less because relatively little is known about the three women featured in the novel: Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, ...

I will definitely have to read The Boleyn Inheritance! Thanks for the recommendation, Lady Pamina, which gains credibility from your astute comments about the other novels.

I just finished The Boleyn Inheritance, and it was intense. I was literally scared out my wits. Even though I what would happen to Anne and Catherine--I was still in suspense and wondering if they would be executed or saved. Henry was a crazed and horrifying monster. My heart was pounding with ...

The book I'm working on now, The Boleyn Inheritance is a multi-POV book. That's what made me ask the question. I actually like that the story is intertwined thru each character.

... has been sitting on my shelf for several years now, because of negative feedback from other readers. I hope you enjoy The Boleyn Inheritance as much as I did. If you haven't read it yet, also thought The Queen's Fool was good.

# 72 Cariola I'm so glad to hear some good feedback about The Boleyn Inheritance ! I'm about 80% thru The Constant Princess, which was good, but I just didn't get the same passion about that one as I did The other Boleyn Girl. I'm looking forward to digging into another good work!

... is accurate enough to be really plausible to a historian of the period. I'll have to put both The Traitor's Wife and The Boleyn Inheritance on my to-be-read list. The latter is one of Gregory's most recent, so probably benefits from the cumulative research she's done for her other novels.

I really liked The Other Boleyn Girl - definately recommend it. However I then followed it up with The Boleyn Inheritance and was disappointed. Too much 'chick lit' for me. It has put me off trying her others.

Just finished The Boleyn Inheritance. A great read although a little repetitive at times. I did love the voice Gregory gives to Katherine Howard, and as with all of her other Tudor court series, I'm now itching to go and visit the Tower of London, Hever Castle, Richmond Palace, etc.... I'm ...

... so-so. But The Constant Princess made up for it. It focuses more on Catherine's early life. There is a new book called The Boleyn Inheritance but I haven't read that one yet.

I'm very much enjoying The Boleyn Inheritance. I am a fan of Gregory's tudor court series, however "bodice ripping" others may find them. I read to visit other worlds, and I find she creates very vivid worlds for me to visit!

I haven't liked that many of Philippa Gregory's novels, but I'd recommend her latest, The Boleyn Inheritance. I certainly wouldn't call it a bodice-ripper; there's not all that much sex in it. (But if you're looking for a romantic storyline, it might not suit, as the only love affair in it ...
