Philippa Gregory discusses “The Other Boleyn Girl”
7:00PM
Gregory will discuss the upcoming major-motion picture adaptation of her novel, The Other Boleyn Girl, which opens in theaters on Friday, February 29.
When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king and take her fate into her own hands.
