mackenzierm 's review for:
The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
Let me start by saying that I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the works I've read from Philippa Gregory, and this one is no different.
This period of English history has always fascinated me, ever since I was a child.
This particular novel takes place during the Tudor reign over England in the late 1400s to mid-1500s. It is set in the viewpoint of Lady Margaret Pole, a woman of Plantagenet blood, and alas, the old royal family. Her story is closely intertwined into the current royal court of the Tudors, where her and her family are seen to fall in and out of royal favour over the years.
I don't really know what more to say about this novel. I found it to be a very enjoyable read, based off of a time period that is of great interest to me.
A solid historical fiction novel! Although I did find the ending to be a bit abrupt and a bit disheartening because I wanted more answers, more context as to why certain things were happening.
