Description
C.J. Sansom's latest historical novel is Lamentation, the sixth installment in his acclaimed Shardlake series. England, 1546, is a time of great turmoil as King Henry VIII's death sets off a power struggle between Protestant and Catholic factions. A young prince, Edward, is at the centre of this maelstrom, with heretics hunted across London. When a secret confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, goes missing, its author must turn to a trusted ally for help. The book's radical Protestant views could bring both the queen and her sympathisers crashing down if it falls into the wrong hands. As tensions rise inside the palace, Shardlake finds himself caught in a web of intrigue where loyalty is tested and allegiances are constantly shifting. With its intricate plot and rich historical context, Lamentation is a gripping addition to Sansom's series.
