Kongens frille af Philippa Gregory
Grum og fængende historie om livet ved Henrik 8's hof. Intringer og forstillelse, men også kærlighed og loyalitet. Vi følger Anne Boleyns lillesøster Mary, som fik 2 børn med kongen inden Anne pressede hende ud. Mary og Anne spejler hinanden, men det er den på alle måder lyse Mary der oplever den bedste slutning.
