(Delayed reply is delayed--I was at a conference last weekend, so apologies!)
Oh, Wolf Hall is in a class of its own. I dream of writing like that. Or like Dorothy Dunnett. I'm waiting on tenterhooks for the sequel to come out in paperback.
I have so much love for Edward IV, and I blame Sharon Penman (as I do for many things where this time period is concerned). Her particular take on him is so gloriously failtastic that I can't help but adore him. Also, dead sexy. It's what I shoot for when I write him, and thankfully it isn't difficult. He's one of those larger-than-life characters whose biography really is stranger than fiction. It saddens me that Shakespeare doesn't do anything with him--but instead we get that glorious Richard of Gloucester, so I guess it's a tradeoff. ;)
