Sinopse

Anne Boleyn's Sister is the story of two sisters competing for a grand prize: the love of a king. Rivalries, intrigues, and passion intertwine in this captivating novel by English author Philippa Gregory.

At the age of 14, the innocent Mary Boleyn, her younger sister Anne, and her brother George arrived at court. At the time, the great aristocratic families lived near the royal palace, and having a woman from their lineage near the sovereign's bed guaranteed social advancement.

Mary's sweetness and beauty caught the attention of Henry VIII, sovereign of the Tudor dynasty in England between 1509 and 1547, remembered in the popular imagination for his reputation as a conqueror - throughout his life, he was married to six women, in addition to the countless mistresses he kept in his court.

Charmed by the king's attention, Mary falls in love with the nobleman and her unofficial role as queen. As Henry VIII's new mistress, her love affair is widely encouraged by her brothers, and the relationship lasts for years, producing two children, including a son. Meanwhile, the entire Boleyn family is embroiled in an even greater intrigue: the dissolution of the sovereign's marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
