Philippa Gregory is a wonderful author of the historical fiction genre. She clearly understands her subject and can immerse you in the time and place.
There is nothing new in The Boleyn Inheritance. Much like with her best known work, The Other Boleyn Girl, a great deal of creative license was taken with history. However, there is little or nothing that directly contradicts what is really known...simply conjectures from the behaviours of the participants.
Did Queen Elizabeth really commune with the ghost of her murdered mother? Did she really miscarry the deformed child of her step father? No one will ever know, but the ideas make good reading.
