The Tudors are a national obsession; they are our most notorious family in history. But, as Leanda de Lisle shows in this gripping new history, beyond the well-worn headlines is a family still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew. The Tudor canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth, in 1485, before speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out the family’s obscure Welsh origins, the ordinary man known as Owen Tudor who would fall (literally) into a Queen’s lap, and later her bed.

São 25 narrativas breves, ancoradas na precisão sensorial, como o “cheiro de ferrugem”, “a banha entalada no batente” e a “mão trêmula no post-it”. Nas atmosferas claustrofóbicas, permeadas pelo silêncio, os personagens se calam não por falta de voz, mas por um emudecimento gerado pelo luto, pelo orgulho ou pela falência cognitiva.

Elas sempre levam ao relaxamento, podendo ser finalizadas com a indução ao sono ou a retomada do estado de vigília.
