The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory
5.0
Once again, Gregory gives us an intimate view of historical figures and the events they lived through.
Gregory brings to live Margaret Pole, a Plantagenet History seems to have forgotten, and shows how the peers of England were pushed away from power by the Tudors, leading to economical and social instability.
The court of Henry VII and Henry VIII are shown in a different light than the traditionally glamourous view - they are ruthless places run by power-hungry tyrants.
Henry VIII is despicable, and yet somehow very human.
The Author's note on Henry VIII possible medical conditions (Kell positive blood type) is particularly interesting.
