Synopsis

They were the Boleyns, once one of England’s most powerful family. Anne Boleyn captured the hand of Henry VIII, and now we see the rise and fall of their family fortunes through the eyes of the eldest Boleyn daughter, Mary. Mary Boleyn is overshadowed in history by her sister Anne, but it was she who first caught the eye of Henry VIII, setting the stage for her family’s dramatic rise to power—and ultimate fall from grace. Although Henry set her aside as his mistress, Mary still navigated the dangerous waters of the Tudor court, while forging ahead to find a life—and a love—apart from the intrigue that surrounded her. In New York Times bestseller Karen Harper’s skillfully written and dramatically set novel, you will hear the story of this once mostly-forgotten Boleyn sister in a brilliant blend of history, romance, and drama.

Great story on Queen Ann’s sister who was also mistress of King Henry viii for several years before he married Ann. There’s more information now than 20+ years ago on Mary Boleyn.

I have been reading a lot of books by Karen Harper recently and I have to admit to thoroughly enjoying each and every one. What a gifted author she is! "The Last Boleyn" was originally titled "Passion's Reign" and I am not at all sure that I would have chosen to read it with that title. I have that......more

Goodreads review by Paula on May 02, 2010

I learned from this book that a woman can become a mistress of two kings, wife to two men, and still not realize that she is no innocent. I approached this book as if the characters were merely familiar, not actual true beings. As such, it was enjoyable for awhile, then there were parts that made th......more
