Families are the ultimate sources of drama, whether it's your family, a Mafia family, or the Kardashians. In The Other Boleyn Girl, the Boleyns were basically the Mafia meets the Kardashians in 16th-century England: they gained popularity and fame through sex; their marriages were national sensations; and they may have killed people. And we're just talking about the Kardashians.
The Boleyns were a family who manufactured drama and used it to make themselves rich and powerful. And this was five hundred years before Instagram, folks. Family drama didn't start in the reality-TV age. It started with families.
One thing hasn't changed since the 16th century: a royal family is just as dysfunctional, if not more dysfunctional, than any common family.
The families in this book don't value love; they value power. They only love each other when they succeed in accomplishing something that brings the family more power, wealth, and prestige.
