Surprisingly heartbreaking
It was a well written book, I loved how fiction was mixed in with history. However when reading the book I couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Elizabeth of York.

"Writer/Director Armando Iannucci can do no wrong in my book. I love his subject matter (power) and his humor (as black as it comes). This is my kind of historical fiction."
