About the event

Bestselling Historical Fiction writer now tells the story of Cardinal Wolsey.


It begins with young Tom Wolsey, the bright and brilliant son of a Suffolk tradesman, sent to study at Oxford at just eleven years old.


It ends with a disgraced cardinal, cast from the King's side and estranged from the woman he loves.


The years in between tell the story of a scholar and a lover, a father and a priest. From the court of Henry VIII, Tom builds a powerful empire of church and state. At home in London, away from prying eyes, he finds joy in a secret second life.


But when King Henry, his cherished friend, demands the ultimate sacrifice, what will Wolsey choose?
