My Favorite Historical Novel: The Man on a Donkey
In this review by Patricia Bernstein, author of A Noble Cunning, The Man on a Donkey is brought to life against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s turbulent reign. H.F.M. Prescott immerses readers in the political and religious upheaval of 16th-century England through a captivating tale of betrayal, ambition, and faith. Focusing on the lesser-known figures of the Pilgrimage of Grace, Prescott’s vivid historical detail and emotional depth offer a fresh perspective on one of history’s most volatile periods, exploring loyalty, power, and human resilience.
