dani_sherlock 's review for:
The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
I would like to explain my high rating for this book. I thought "The White Queen", "The Lady of the Rivers" and "The White Princess" (other books in the Cousins' War series) were better written books with more interesting protagonists. However, I found this book provided me with a new level and depth of understanding into Henry VIII's reign and the brutality with which he governed his people.
I have done a good deal of research on Henry although primarily on the earlier part of his reign and have never really understand why he was depicted as tyrant. Henry's changing personality as seen through the eyes of Margaret Pole in this narrative was truly fascinating.
To any one interested in the Tudors I would urge you to read Gregory's Author's Note at the end of the novel which are both poignant and fascinating.
