It's not like Henry and Cromwell were good guys fighting the good fight but the Catholic church at that time had insane power.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-13926395600087159382015-06-13T21:21:01.855-05:002015-06-13T21:21:01.855-05:00Luckily, when things continue for a period of time...Luckily, when things continue for a period of time, Bilyeau is good about moving things forward without trying to write her way there.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-19180501187448049942015-06-12T00:10:45.677-05:002015-06-12T00:10:45.677-05:00I love this series!

Sadly I think this was a trilogy but I could be wrong. I sure wouldn't turn away a fourth book!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-10154241147844294172015-06-11T22:19:15.550-05:002015-06-11T22:19:15.550-05:00Sounds like an interesting series about this time ...Sounds like an interesting series about this time period. I enjoyed the Wolf Hall PBS series and have been meaning to pick up Mantel's books too.
