Publisher's Summary

1539. Anne of Cleves wins the dangerous prize of becoming Henry VIII’s fourth wife. From the start, Anne’s royal blood, education and fierce intelligence count for nothing as the king pursues young Katherine Howard.   

Katherine is a pawn in the political manoeuvres of her ambitious family; unprepared for the dangers that await, she steps into their trap. At her side is kinswoman Jane Boleyn, who has served - and betrayed - one queen already: her sister-in-law Anne, who died on Henry’s scaffold. Will Jane betray a second queen to the headsman?  

As the three women’s fates entwine in the most volatile court in Europe, each must survive an increasingly tyrannical, murderous king.   

With an exclusive afterword written and read by Philippa Gregory, exploring the inspiration behind The Boleyn Inheritance.

Did not like it at all

What a let down both the book and Naration.
I realise the book has some historical fact and a lot of fiction but I had to stop listening to it it was that bad. There was so much repetition going from one character to another repeating what was written in the chapter before it. I don't like first person books and this jumping from one character to another annoying as was the narration.
It's a shame that this book was so bad as I have liked previous books and I find the Tudor times quite interesting.

Simply captivating

From the preview I was concerned about 3 different voices (2 of which are a bit over the top) telling the story. But it works to bring 3 distinct characters to life.

I love the mixture of fact and fiction that Phillipa Gregory uses in her stories. Helps make the characters relatable to a modern audience.

Amazing performances!

The story is incredible but what really makes this audiobook remarkable is the performances in it! Each actress gives life to the characters in the book on a perfect way and it’s truly a pleasure to listen to. Really sad to have finished and looking forward to more from these amazing artists
