I am currently reading The Other Boleyn Girl. Although some might say it's more of a girl book, I think it is a very interesting and intriguing book. It is about two sisters who are going against each other to become the queen of England during Henry the VIII. Dazzled, the narrator and the main character Mary falls in love with him but realizes her family's scheme to make her sister Anne queen. She then goes against her family for love and take fate into her own hands. I remember them making a movie about the book but I didn't see it. I really want to though.
Emotions are running high when Mary fights against Anne to be the queen and love Henry. Mary is very scared of what will happen. She knows that her parents might exile her because she defied them. She knows the king might choose Anne instead of her but she will fight on. Anne along with the family is very disappointed and angered by Mary's betrayal. Mary's father wants to exile Mary and take her Boleyn fame but Anne wants to give her a chance. First Anne was angered but she saw the King also loved Mary as well so she played with Mary, also against her parents. Now, she is devising a plan to get rid of Queen Katherine, the Kings wife so either she or Mary could marry the king. That is just plain evil there. Wealth could lead to horrible things.
