Commercial Content Writer Natalie Knowles says: "Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell trilogy was my lockdown reading material. I was completely immersed in the Tudor court in evocative detail, unrivalled by any other novels or films I've seen.

It's like time travelling back to the 1500s, with a riveting story, political intrigue and historical accuracy that brings the past to life. It is a masterpiece."
