The Boleyn Inheritance: Three Women With a Common Destiny
Judith of Cleves
She flees her little nation, her cruel mother, and her violent brother in search of a kingdom whose last three monarchs have passed away. Her new spouse, King Henry VIII, does not take to her at first. A court dominated by a deadly game of politics and the horror of an unpredictable and angry monarch, she actually has to save her own neck since she has no friends, no relatives, and doesn't even comprehend the language being spoken around her. False witnesses and allegations are part of her Boleyn inheritance.
Howard Katherine
Soon after arriving at court, she draws the king's attention, starting the terrible wheel of politics, intrigue, and betrayal that she cannot comprehend. She is unaware of the sick old man who made her queen, repeatedly bedded her, and murdered her cousin Anne. All she knows is that she is young, attractive, and the object of men's desire. The axe danger is her Boleyn inheritance.
Roberta Rochford
She is the Boleyn girl who sent her sister-in-law and husband to their deaths with her testimony. She is the dependable companion of two imperiled queens, the utterly devoted spies for her uncle, the Duke of Norfolk, and a cunning survival in the bloody court of a very perilous monarch. Her name is synonymous with hatred, resentment, and deranged desire across Europe. Her inheritance from the Boleyn family: a title and a money in return for her soul.
A court governed by the gallows and three women whose positions granted them riches, adoration, and power along with treachery, betrayal, and dread are the subject of the gripping thriller The Boleyn Inheritance. Once again, Philippa Gregory has brought to life a world that has disappeared: the whispers of people gathered on Tower Green under the recently constructed scaffold, the whisper of a silk skirt on a stone stair, the golden glare of candles lighting a hurriedly scribbled message. At her most perceptive and captivating, Gregory is in The Boleyn Inheritance.
