Praise from England for The House of Dudley:“Visceral and illuminating. Paul has produced a painstakingly detailed first book with spirit and verve. Her style is cinematic.”“An enthralling read told with great verve and an eye for the telling detail.”“Exciting and immersive. An immensely entertaining history, capturing in full Tudor brilliance the cut-throat glamour of the English throne and the most audacious family to play its game.”“Breathes new life into an old and familiar Tudor story. It's delightful, a joy to read.”“This is riveting stuff: death, desire, power and scandal. Game of Thrones looks tame compared with the real-life machinations of the Dudleys."“Rich and compelling. Conjures up the look and feel of Tudor life. You will find yourself drawn in, fascinated, and richly informed.”“A full-blooded affair, as good on the horrors of war as it is on the soft power of the Dudley women, and written in a lively, episodic style that presents each Dudley as a foil to the monarch they served.”'The crowning jewel in its genre. I can't recommend this book enough. Unputdownable.”“When reading Joanne Paul's lively history of the house of Dudley, it is impossible not to be reminded of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy.”
