Waiting on | The Boleyn Wife by Brandy Purdy
Title: The Boleyn Wife
Author: Brandy Purdy
Publication date: January ’10
Genre: Historical
Shy, plain Lady Jane Parker feels out of place in Henry VIII’s courtly world of glamour and intrigue–until she meets the handsome George Boleyn. Overjoyed when their fathers arrange a match, her dreams of a loving union are waylaid when she meets George’s sister, Anne. For George is completely devoted to his sister, and cold and indifferent to his bride. As Anne acquires a wide circle of admirers, including King Henry, Jane’s resentment grows. But if becoming Henry’s queen makes Anne the most powerful woman in England, it also makes her highly vulnerable. And as Henry, desperate for a male heir, begins to tire of his mercurial wife, the stage is set for the ultimate betrayal…

I need to try a historical fiction novel set during that time period since everyone else seems to love them so much!
I have to say that this sounds absolutely fantastic! I hope it’s done well.
I have an autographed copy of this that I won during BBAW. It’s good, written in the first person, but still showing how crazy Jane was, balanced with how she was treated by everyone around her.
