The book deals with the reign of Henry VIII of England from just before he meets Anne Boleyn to just after the execution of Thomas More.

I think many will find this a slog, particularly with the slightly unusual style.<br /><br />On the other hand, I really enjoyed it. I found Mantel's brutal vision of Tudor England engulfing and was thoroughly fascinated by the subtle interactions between the characters.<br /><br />My review: <a href="http://www.bibliofreak.net/2011/11/review-wolf-hall-by-hilary-mantel.html" rel="nofollow">Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel </a>Matthew Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723650905588749638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062875204400625695.post-15682163470434336842011-09-26T17:23:06.848-07:002011-09-26T17:23:06.848-07:00Thanks Susan!
