Tells the story of Henry VIII's divorce from Katherine of Aragon, from the point of view of Thomas Cromwell, a commoner who rises to the position of Henry's most trusted advisor.
A magnificent feat of imagination, bringing to life those who lived in Tudor times, their motivations (greed and power) echoing with relevance today.
Words cannot express how much I loved this book. I read it twice when it first came out, and again this year after I'd read Bring Up the Bodies, so I could read that book again too.
