Philippa Gregory has just won the Parker Romantic Novelist of the Year Award for her novel, The Other Boleyn. In it she recounts the little known story of Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne.
Mary became Henry VIII's docile mistress and the mother of two royal bastards, before he turned his attention to the less malleable enchantress, Anne. The book is packed full of intrigue, murder and adultery as the two Tudor women trade sex for power.
Martha talks to Philippa Gregory and asks her whether we are finally tiring of chick lit and returning to good old historical blockbusters?
Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn, Harper Collins ISBN 0-00-225984-2, £16.99
