The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
This was a great book. Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury was such a fascinating character. Seeing all the events of Henry VIII’s reign through her eyes gave such an insight into the ways in which he changed and became a tyrant over his lifetime. The novel and Margaret’s experiences highlighted the challenges for women in the era, and for those who were viewed to be enemies of the crown, such as the Plantagenets.
I absolutely loved her relationship with Princess Mary (later Queen Mary) and Katherine of Aragon, and how the women supported each other.
The novel was captivating and devastating at points, and really drew me into the Tudor era. This was my 10th Philippa Gregory novel, and I’m looking forward to reading more.
