About this deal

Historians have struggled to find a rational explanation for the capricious changes of policy implemented by Henry in the final years of his reign.

The poet acknowledges that this suffering is a just punishment, still God is held to have had choice over whether to act in this way and at this time.

His Protestant and Catholic councilors are engaged in a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government. Sufferers in the face of grief are not urged to a confidence in the goodness of God; in fact, God is accountable for the disaster.

Brodrick] has written an engrossing novel in which appearances are disastrously deceptive and the sins of the father painfully come to bear on the sons (and daughters). I feel like the previous Shardlake novels have had an element of danger, but this book amplified the danger level immensely for our intrepid lawyer and his friends. Turn to Lamentations 3:17–26, where you’ll find someone aware of sin’s consequences and saddened by the results but who has placed his hope and his trust in the Lord.It also suggests that Sansom’s recent foray into alternate history was not quite as much of a diversion as it first appeared.

It began with the first wave of exile, in which the people in the highest echelons of society (including the king) were taken from Judah to live in Babylon in captivity (597 BC). Someone has stolen the manuscript of a very personal book that she wrote, Lamentation of a Sinner, and if should fall into the wrong hands, the queen may be executed like Anne Askew.In the Coptic Orthodox Church, the book's third chapter is chanted on the 12th hour of the Good Friday service, which commemorates the burial of Jesus. Sansom conjures the atmosphere, costumes and smells of Tudor London with vigour, from the gilded halls of Whitehall Palace to the dungeons of the Tower.
