I'm reading The Other Boleyn Girl. I'm 100 pages from the end and I still don't know what's going to happen!
I know all the queens have to go- the story is about one who is not queen (the other sister) but I don't know if she gets killed too, what's going to happen to her children (who are also Henry's) how many more queens there will be, what Oliver Cromwell is up to, why Thomas More is in the tower- when the Church of English is established in this timeline- what's gonna happen to the pope?! What do the Lutherans have to do with it? When will the Bible be officially translated into English and available to read in this storyline? Are they all speaking French? What made Henry so crazy? For all the documentaries and biographies I watch and read- I would have thought I would have this all worked out by now.
Alas, no- it is all a surprise to me in this book. How fantastic is that? Love my ignorance in isolation :)
As soon as I finish the book I'm going to do some sketchy wiki research and watch the movie- there might even be a series to entertain me.
