Just finished this book about Thomas Cromwell, adviser to Henry Tudor and his infamous second wife, a book I have owned for awhile and read for the #goldenmanbooker. I really enjoyed this book, though it was not a quick read for me, it took a lot of effort to keep up with the plot and characters. A very well researched book, this is for people who enjoy detailed, cunning political type books, not those looking for a fast paced period drama.
