kaymarfar 's review for:
The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
This is 5 stars. Margaret Pole has been so overlooked but has probably lived the most interesting life. She served as lady-in-waiting to her beloved cousin, Elizabeth of York and to both of her nephew's same wife, Katherine of Aragon. She tutored and basically raised two kings of England, King Arthur and King Henry VIII. She lived in extreme poverty and wealth, falling in and out of favor in a very tumultuous time of history. Her own father vyed for the throne of England when her uncle was King which ultimately made her father a traitor and die. Her brother died just for existing and because he could be an heir to the throne of England. Maggie is clever and cautious. She's someone you know. She's rebellious. This is the best book in the series. It feels like everything lead to this moment and it paid off.
