Just finished the book.....what an amazing story!! I hope to travel to Norwich on my next trip to the UK!
Oh do, it's a beautiful place to visit!
Love CJ Sansom's Shardlake series and I've got this one lined up and ready to read, can't wait! And Norwich looks awesome :-)
Ooh I hope you love it! And Norwich was gorgeous, I recommend :) -Emma
Hi Emma, while I love your videos I adore this one. I came across the first Shardlake novel in our local public library years ago and instantly fell in love with the way of storytelling of CJ Sansom, his presentation of the characters, the vivid description of tudor England....
And while I read this first book still in German, I switched to the original english versions for the following ones, as I couldn't wait for the translations. I hope this won't be the last novel of Matthew Shardlake, as he has become something like a friend of mine. Cheers from Germany, Chris
This is where I live so can't wait to read it!
You're so lucky living in such a beautiful city! -Emma
I'm loving the book, so thank you so much for showing us around Norwich!! Sydney is a long way away, but now I want to come and visit it myself (with my copy of Tombland of course) :)
I lived in Norwich for a couple of years just over the river from Dragons Hall and love the area - its not called a fine city for nothing! and one of my friends is a manager at the Maids Head Hotel! I hope they treated you well! :-)
Yes they were so lovely there!
Omg someone actually wrote a book about Norwich we were finally noticed hooray 😂xx
AimsWillbeback 60s both books by Sir Alan Partridge feature Norwich.
What an amazing place! And I want that book - forget Christmas, I'm off to get it now!!
You are better with the travel video than most travel video vloggers. I really loved this video😀
Inspiring post - I need to visit Norwich now and buy the book!
Yay do both!! -Emma
Dragon Hall looks amazing! Definitely adding Tombland to the to-read list, as well
It was such a cool place to visit!
That was amazing ... I want to visit all the places you cover in Book Break and buy all the books!
I LOVE HISTORY
Brilliant piece - halfway through the book and loving it so the perfect piece for me
Oh I'm so glad you're enjoying it! -Emma
Great tour. Just finished reading Tombland so it is very interesting to see the environs.
Oh good!!
So awsome tombland nosta
Got this book. About to start it. It's my favourite period in history too.
C J S - awesome!,
That hotel looks amazing! I want to go stay there and read Tombland by a roaring fire
How wonderful! Real live Tomblands & I’m actually reading it at the moment.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Ooh I hope you're enjoying it!
Yes indeed, only about a third of the way in, so plenty to go yet. Isn’t it great that we can actually go & see the places Matthew Shardlake & co frequented?!
my absolute favourite..in my city!!!woohoo
Aah is this where you live?! So gorgeous. -Emma
That’s so cool about the witches marks!
You did it the wrong way around. You have to read the book *first* and *then* visit Norwich (and Wymondham) to get a feeling for the places and areas he describes.
I gave up with this one really easily. Absolutely loved the previous six, but, since Henry VIII has died, it seems its lost its way, he was the spectre in the background (along with Richard Rich) and I found this book took ages to set up the political/religious background and I just wasn't invested or interested. Maybe I should revisit it and persevere.
2.29 OMG I'm annoyed. The 'peasants' were annoyed at the enclosures because they wanted to graze their *sheep*. They didn't *keep* sheep. They grazed their goats or a house cow and perhaps a pig, and the gdonkey which was an important means to get about and earn a living.
Please, use facts. What you stated was as wrong as saying that Henry VIII closed monasteries because he just didn't like monks.
Sheep were for rich landowners, not peasants, who were more interested than feeding themselves than amassing gold.
Bri.liant book and series.
Have you read diary of a wimpy kid
