About Books by the Beach 2025 - ALISON WEIR

ALISON WEIR is a best-selling historical novelist of Tudor fiction, and the leading female historian in the UK. She has published more than thirty books, and sold over three million copies worldwide. Step into the thrill and danger of Tudor England as Alison gives an illustrated talk on her compelling new novel The Cardinal: The Secret Life of Thomas Wolsey. From humble beginnings in an Ipswich Inn, Thomas Wolsey rose to become Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor and close friend. From the king's court the Cardinal built a powerful empire of church and state. All was well until Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn and Wolsey's life crumbled around him.Photo credit - Jonathan Drori
