I love the Shardlake books and this is the best one. I could not quite read the most tragic chapters all the way through but that’s evidence of how skillful Sansom is at recreating the 16th century and peopling it with characters one cares about. I think the book changed how I see the world in some ways, as I feel more compassion for the dispossessed in our own time after reading about the commons of 1549.
