Every week Tanzanite features upcoming historical fiction and history related non-fiction books that have come to her attention and may be of interest to others. Since she has an out of control TBR pile, so should everyone else!
In Rivals in the Tudor Court, D.L. Bogdan delves into the intrigue-laden life of the ambitious Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk, his wife, and his mistress. Through force of will, cleverness, and sheer good fortune, Thomas Howard tries to maintain his favor at court, helping to arrange the King’s marriage to two of his nieces, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard—both of whom he utterly betrays. Sweeping across eight decades and the reigns of six English monarchs, this is the story of innocence lost, of passion that knows no bounds, and of a man battling an enemy even more formidable than the bloodthirsty Henry VIII: himself.
Summer, 1384. The harvest may be promising but storm clouds of insurrection are gathering over England
The last one sounds kinda interesting!
I'll be looking forward to reading the Tudor one. While I wasn't overly fond of some of her first book, I think she has potential. :)
