  <default_description>She Survived Her Own Innocence, and the Treachery of Europe&amp;#8217;s Royal Courts&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Greed, lust for power, sex, lies, secret marriages, religious posturing, adultery, beheadings, international intrigue, jealousy, treachery, love, loyalty, and betrayal.&lt;i&gt; The Last Boleyn&lt;/i&gt; tells the story of the rise and fall of the Boleyns, one of England&amp;#8217;s most powerful families, through the eyes of the eldest daughter, Mary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although her sister, Anne, the queen; her brother, George, executed alongside Anne; and her father, Thomas, are most remembered by history, Mary was the Boleyn who set into motion the chain of events that brought about the family&amp;#8217;s meteoric rise to power, as well as the one who managed to escape their equally remarkable fall. Sent away to France at an extraordinarily young age, Mary is quickly plunged into the dangerous world of court politics, where everything is beautiful but deceptive, and everyone she meets is watching and quietly manipulating the events and people around them. As she grows into a woman, Mary must navigate both the dangerous waters ruled by two kings and the powerful will of her own family in order to find a place for herself and the love she so deeply desires.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The Last Boleyn: A Novel, by Karen Harper, is the story of Mary Boleyn (Bullen), Anne Boleyn's older sister.  Much like The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory,  this story describes Mary's life as a pawn in elaborate French and English court intrigue.

This is what The Other Boleyn Girl (called TOBG for the rest of this post) should have been - if it had been written with any semblance of historical reality. <br/><br/>It's no secret that I am fascinated by Anne Boleyn, and can't read enough about her.

It would have been nice if there had been an epilogue or two, explaining the causes of their deaths, and a bit about Mary's reaction.

    <body><![CDATA[I had read The Other Boleyn Girl and quite enjoyed that and was interested to see how this book compared to it. I think that Karen Harper did a good job of telling Mary Boleyn's story. It was interesting to read about her interpretation of events and history.<br/><br/>It made me want to learn more...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49805993">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was just okay.  Parts were very repetitive and it could have been about 100 pages shorter.  I do find it interested how different authors tell the story of the Boleyn family.  I've read three different versions of how the Boleyn sisters became acquainted with King Henry (when, where, for how long...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15980920">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book a lot.  I read The Other Boleyn Girl and loved it, but this book is right up there with it.  I enjoyed reading it as a comparison.  The basic historical facts are the same, but this book focuses a lot more on Mary, rather than Anne.  Mary's life at the French court is in the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21724005">more...</a>]]></body>

I've gotten past her affair with the French king and am now to the point where Henry has gotten her pregnant with her first child Catherine.I finished this some weeks ago and I thought it was ok.
