Saturday Series

Thank you Henry Holt Books for these gifted copies.

is there a series that you have been wanting to read for ages but not picked up yet? For me it is the 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹 trilogy. I stumbled across the first book years ago at the library and didn’t check it out just because I was already holding about 12 books, and ever since then I’ve been meaning to pick up the series because it looks so good. This trilogy is also the basis for the TV series on BBC and PBS Masterpiece starring Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell.

𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹: England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

AOTD: I came home late every night this week so we do not need to talk about how much I need to catch up on chores around the house.
