I wanted to read this book before I saw the film. Still haven't watched the film yet but loved the book. I'm not usually into this type of book but I do find Henry VIII strangely interesting.
This historical novel is well written and captivates your imagination. I could picture living in tudor times and see the attraction to attending court and being part of that way of life, enjoying the banquets and flamboyance of the many dances and balls!
Being part of Henry's Court seemed very dangerous and volatile and you could be dismissed or worse at a moments notice if you no longer served a purpose.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book and it has fed my interest in Henry and other Kings and Queens!
