Reviews
Praise for The Passionate Tudor "[Alison] Weir aptly demonstrates how politics and personal relationships intermix via Elizabeth's transformation, in Mary's eyes, from beloved sister to dangerous rival. Mary's passionate spirit, which is stubbornly and tragically misdirected, comes alive via Weir's thorough approach." --Booklist "An exquisitely drawn, poignant portrayal of one of history's most complex, maligned, and fascinating figures . . . Told with all of Alison Weir's characteristic verve and eye for evocative period detail, this is a book that will stay with you long after the last page. . . . A must for Tudor fans everywhere." --Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I Praise for The King's Pleasure "Weir takes the abundant history and weaves imagined conversations and motivations into a delightful yarn. . . . An all-around fun read about a king and a cad." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "After spinning out the story of Henry VIII's queens over the course of six meticulously researched novels, Weir gives Harry (as he's affectionately known here) a very readable royal right of reply. . . . Well told." -- The Daily Mail "Alison Weir is at the top of her game. Her wide knowledge and unparalleled understanding of the Tudor era fuels a sympathetic, but never sycophantic, portrait of England's most compelling king." --Sarah Gristwood, author of The Tudors in Love
Synopsis
In this "immersive tale of Tudor intrigue" ( Publishers Weekly ), the New York Times bestselling author of The Last White Rose explores the rise of Thomas Wolsey, who was Henry VIII's chief adviser--until the king accused him of treason. "Henry VIII's beloved cardinal leaps from the page in all his brilliance, complexity, and humanity. Fans of Wolf Hall have a treat in store."--Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I Cardinal Thomas Wolsey enjoyed one of the most meteoric careers in history. His rise from humble beginnings coincided with young Henry VIII's ascension to the throne in 1509. The two grew to be cherished friends, and by 1515 Wolsey, now a cardinal, had become the controlling figure in all matters of church and state. Wolsey operated on an international stage and worked hard to broker universal peace. All was going dazzlingly well until Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn--the woman whom Wolsey would one day call "the night crow"--and sought to end his marriage to his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. Swept up in the maelstrom of "the Divorce," Wolsey, who had successfully given his master everything he wanted, found himself in an impossible situation. As he drew the ire of the future queen, the cardinal found his privileged life and his relationship with Henry crumbling around him. Alison Weir's poignant novel tells the story of Wolsey the man--his incredible rise to power and his tragic fall. She delves beyond the splendor and political machinations of the Tudor court to reveal the secrets of Wolsey's private life, the mistress and children he was devoted to, and the tragedy that overtook them. It is a tale of two women, one who loved him and one who hated him--and also a tale of two men, king and commoner, the special, deep-rooted bonds that brought them together and the forces that drove them apart.
