Read August 2017. Non-fiction.
The Tudor era is my favourite historical period, but we tend to only read about the goings on of the Kings, Queens, Lords and Ladies who lived in those times, both in fiction and non-fiction books.
Ruth Goodman, instead, writes about the lives of ordinary people in Tudor times. How did they actually live? The book takes the format of times during the day, so starts with waking and ticks of the different phases until bedtime. This book is utterly fascinating and accessible, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested The Middle Ages.
