Consider Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. Recommended by 6 sources.
“Wolf Hall reads like an intense, close-up study of a single mind moving through early-16th-century court life. The prose favors long, exact sentences and live-in-the-moment narration that turns political maneuvering into tightening scenes. Most useful: the way small gestures, household detail and legal moves stage power. Limitation: the focus is narrow, pace can stall in rumination, and perceptual closeness sometimes sacrifices broader context or straightforward chronology — readers wanting speed or variety of perspective may grow impatient.”
