The Other Boleyn Girl: A Novel —
Such an incredible book. You really get into the characters and begin to feel for all of them, even when you don't want to. It's also such an interesting point of view because it is seen through the eyes of an outsider; one who wasnt in the spotlight, but helped to make everything happen. To read about such a fascinating part of history and have it come alive is amazing, but to see it from a different point of view makes it all the better. The romance involved is obviously the center of the story, and includes portrayals of unrequited love (which we are all too familiar with), the lack of power for women, manipulation, and passion.
