Alison Weir - The Cardinal: A Novel of Love and Power (Thurs 24th July 6.30pm)
Alison Weir's new novel tells the story of Wolsey the man, his incredible rise to power and his tragic fall. She delves beyond the splendour and political machinations of the Tudor court to reveal the secrets of Wolsey's private life and the woman he loved devotedly, from whom he would be driven to part. It is also a tale of two men, king and commoner, and the special, deep-rooted bonds that brought them together, and the forces that drove them apart – and of two women, one who loved Wolsey, and one who hated him.
