Puss ‘n Books reviewed The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory
Review of "The King's Curse" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The reign of Henry VIII, as told by his governess Margaret Pole (a wealthy Plantangent heir). A rich history filled with betrayal and tyranny. It was hard to read about all of Henry's actions without thinking about how mentally ill this man had to have been to behave the way he did. Once again Philippa Gregory brings history back to life and gives breath to the dead so we can visit them once again and feel what is was like to be in their presence in their time. Wonderfully written as always.
