What a lovely little tale of the Boleyn family! There are comparisons to Philippa Gregorys The Other Boleyn Girl, as the concept behind the two books is the same the Boleyn story from Marys side. I liked this one infinitely more than the Gregory story, and Im so glad I took the time to read it.

The book starts out when Mary is about 12, not long before she is sent to live in the French court to serve Mary Tudor as the Queen of France while she is married to King Louis. We get to see Mary as she grows from a naive youngster into a beautiful young woman who is soon catching the eye of many members of the court. In the background, we get to see Annes story as well, starting out with her somewhat worship of her older sister and through her exciting, and ultimately tragic life.
