ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory weaves a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and survival in the court of King Henry VIII. The story follows three women whose fates become intertwined: Anne of Cleves, forced into a loveless marriage; Katherine Howard, a young queen navigating dangerous courtly games; and Jane Boleyn, haunted by the past and caught in political machinations. As alliances shift and accusations fly, each woman must navigate treacherous paths to survive in a court ruled by a vengeful king. The novel explores themes of power, religion, and the vulnerability of women in a world dominated by men.
