I haven't read an historical book in yonks until now, when I picked up Elizabeth Fremantle's The Queen's Gambit and I'm loving being transported back into the court of Henry VIII, with its whispering corridors, wary ladies, gossip and beheadings. I also feel like I'm brushing up my rusty history.
Perfect reading in front of a wood burner with a glass of red, waiting for the evenings to get lighter again.
Happy new year!
