Heartstone: A Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery | C. J. Sansom

I‘ve loved every novel we‘ve read so far in the #ShardlakeBR. So, on my last trip to London, where my daughter now lives, I just had to visit a few of the places where Matthew Shardlake spent his time, including Chancery Lane (where his home was supposedly located), Clifford‘s Inn (one of the Inns of Court), and the Old Bailey prison.

@julieclair

I hope this counts. I'll be finishing the second half of this book with the #ShardlakeBR, and I'll be on The British Isles, in England, particularly at Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight for the Battle of the Solent. 🇬🇧

julieclair Totally works! England is definitely an island. 😆 1w

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

AnneCecilie I‘m not really one to look up things as I read unless there‘s a reference to a painting and I want to see it 2w

dabbe I find I want to see pictures of things, too, like The Solent, The Mary Rose, Portsmouth, etc. I also look up some of the people (like Richard Rich), and yep, he was just as evil as he's portrayed in the novels. 2w

kwmg40 I like looking up the places where Shardlake goes. In fact, I'll be travelling to London very soon to visit my daughter, and I'm hoping to visit the Temple area so I can see where Shardlake spent much of his time! 2w

dabbe @kwmg40 Oh, please take pictures and share! 🤩🤩🤩 2w

kwmg40 @dabbe Yes, I definitely plan to do that! 2w

lil1inblue I'm definitely interested in researching more about the Battle of Solent, as well as the Italian War as a whole. I like “zooming out,“ so to speak, to see how the events fit into world politics of the time. Previously, I went down rabbit holes reading about H VIII's wives, and I also read quite a bit about Greek Fire. 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue #ditto! I have read a bunch of books about his wives, too. So fascinating! I came out truly admiring Anne of Cleves and Catherine Parr. And Greek fire was so interesting, wasn't it? I'm also fascinated by water, so I loved looking up pictures of The Solent and the English Channel. It's amazing to think that England was once landlocked to the continent; you can still see it in the southeaster outline of the country! 🤩 2w

LiseWorks Greed! 2w

OutsmartYourShelf They're sly bullies who pick on the weak or those they consider inferior. 2w

AnneCecilie They feel that they are entitled to what they want because they now are rich 2w

dabbe @Liseworks @OutsmartYourShelf @AnneCecilie ... Even though Dryrick and Furstowe are not upper class or nobility, they still lord it over others less fortunate. There was such a pecking order during this time period--the social pyramid where everyone knew his place. And women didn't even belong anywhere on it! 2w

kwmg40 I find Dryrick an interesting character. His arrogance and bullying make him loathsome, but at the same time, it seems like he might have some good qualities in him and his unpleasantness might be caused by pressures or inner struggles that we don't know about. 2w

dabbe @kwmg40 He does seems to really love his wife and children, so there is that. He also had to start from the bottom and work his way up. I find him to be quite insecure underneath all of his bravado. 2w

lil1inblue They are all about gaining money and power, regardless of the damage they cause in order to obtain them. The entitlement is so...icky. Dryrick and Priddis are particularly interesting since they had to work their way up, but seem to have a loathing for people who were where they were when they started. Is this a self-loathing of sorts? 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue Excellent thought. Or it could be a thought of “I got mine, now I don't want you to have yours and possibly rise above me again.“ Or both! 😊 2w
