Henry VII is my thing.
When I picked Henry VII as the focus of my dissertation, I immediately ordered every book I could find on him.
Some, I have to admit, are pretty dull.
Others, pretty fascinating.
Winter King by Thomas Penn falls into the 'fascinating' category.
Non-fiction books have a tendency to state dates and facts, allowing little interpretation for the reader. I never considered the possibility that a non-fiction book could be suspenseful and thrilling. Thomas Penn's writing creates a fuller and deeper story to the life of Henry VII. He captivates the reader with the drama of early Tudor history without creating fiction.
I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys real life soap operas or Tudor history.
Other titles similar to this book include:
Hilary Mantel Wolf Hall
Philippa Gregory The Red Queen and The White Princess
There will be no Thought's From Abroad post tomorrow as I just got back from Ireland. Expect lots of amazing Irish posts soon!
Happy Thursday!
