A review by cynthiaswanson
The King's Persons by Joanne Greenberg

5.0

Not an easy book to read, given the subject matter, but Greenberg does a wonderful job describing the lives of ordinary people in the years and months leading up to a tragic event. The story is told through the viewpoint of a cast of characters, most of them based on historical figures. It took me a while to sort out who everyone was, but once I did, I was engrossed in this story, even though I knew it would not end well.
