hugtherocks 's review for:

The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory
5.0

I absolutely love Philippa Gregory’s books. Historical fiction is not my typical jam, but the way she develops relatively unknown and/or ignored historical characters, and builds a world around them is so intriguing. Especially historical women, of whom little information is broadly known.

I had never even heard of Margaret Pole, but her role along side Henry VIII, Katherine of Aragon, and Mary Tudor gives a wonderful, fanciful, and grim insight in the lives of the Plantagenet nobility after the War of the Roses.
