Bought as part of the Times book offer.

From the back cover:

"Dazzled by the golden prince, Mary's joy is cut short when she discovers that she is a pawn in the dynastic plots of her family. When the capricious king's interest wanes, Mary is ordered to pass on her knowledge of how to please him to her friend and river: her sister, Anne.

Anne soon becomes irresistible to Henry, and Mary can do nothing but watch her sister's rise. Anne stops at nothing to achieve her own ambition. From now on, Mary will be no more than the other Boleyn girl. But beyond the court is a man who dares to challenge the power of her family to offer Mary a life of freedom and passion. If only she has the courage to break away - before the Boleyn enemies turn on the Boleyn girls..."

This book kindly donated by perfect-circle for a secret project.

The extent of my knowledge of Henry VIII and his six wives is limited to the rhyme learned at school (divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived) and this has served to reignite my interest in the era. Gregory's tale of Anne Boleyn's rise through court and her downfall, told through the eyes of her sister Mary, is full of intrigue, games and cold-blooded ambition.
