I took a chance on a new author in the Tudor genre, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I am picky about historical fiction in the Tudor period because I have read and researched so much about that period.  Ms. Manning was able to take me into her view of the court of Henry VIII so well that, in my head, I could see what she wrote as it happened.  Her characters are interesting and believable, and she describes the clothes and surroundings so that you can "see" them, but it doesn't interfere with the action.  Well Done!
