In our cozy loft
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR FICTION
England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

Be our friend on Goodreads! Goodreads is an online networking program similar to Facebook but totally based around books and reading lists. A Goodreads account allows you to build bookshelves online and fill them with books you've already read or want to read. You can also rate books, review them, and visit your friends' shelves to see what they're reading and recommending.
If you already have an account with Goodreads and want to be our friend (so we can see each other's bookshelves), just do a friend search for Grass_Roots Corvallis and then invite us to be your friend. If you don't have an account with Goodreads but want one, you can visit Goodreads.com to join.
