MRS SHARON answers “I found this book difficult to read,...”

John asked this question about Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell, #1):

I found this book difficult to read, because one had to constantly refer to family trees. If I left it for a few days I almost had to start again. Not sure it is one I would recommend as a MUST read....anyone think differently?

I love the Tudors, and know the popular history, so I picked it up again and to me, the realisation that 'he' was mostly always Cromwell seemed to make it much clearer (obvious to some, I guess, but not me, at first!) Then I could not put it down and waited with baited breath for the other two! I read all three as soon as I could, WH a long time ago now, obvs. But I felt as if I were sitting on Cromwell's shoulder, watching the events unfold...that's how it affected me! :)(less)
