The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory
4.0

After learning bits of Margaret Pole's story in the last two books in the series, I was excited to find out that this book would focus on her life. A character that I can't ever remember featuring in the YA Tudor fiction I enjoyed as a teen, this novel brought her to life and illustrated the very real terror that must have enveloped people as King Henry VIII descended into paranoia and brutality.
