The Boleyn Inheritance

This book is written from the point of view of three different women, and the chapters alternate between their three voices.  Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law to Anne Boleyn, finds herself rising in power at court again.  Anne of Cleves finds herself the unlucky 4th wife of wife killer Henry VIII.  And Katherine Howard, silly young girl that she is, rises to be the 5th wife of this dreadful king.  Of all the women in this story, only Anne of Cleves strikes a sympathetic note, and I found myself looking forward to the chapters written from her point of view.  Overall, the book was very well written, with language a little less shocking than The Other Boleyn Girl.
