Our Review
An extraordinary novel that brings into vivid focus the larger-than-life King Henry VIII, monarch of prodigious appetites for wine, women, and song. This is a readable, entertaining, tour de force that captures the essence of the Sixteenth Century, in all its drama and atmosphere. A can't-miss for readers who delight in wonderful historical fiction perfectly rendered. "It doth brim with lust, violence, cruelty and lively conversation…Margaret George has found a new and fresh way to tell the story." DETROIT FREE PRESS
