Reader Review: "I'm so delighted that this even surpassed Wolf Hall in terms of my utter reading enjoyment. Yes, a big part of that is that our court story is getting to the really gripping part with Anne Boleyn getting her alleged comeuppance, but also as the characters were now familiar it was easier to immediately sink into the story and get back to feeling like a fly on the wall again. Tension is ripe throughout this second novel. Henry isn't happy, and that pervades the air in every nook and cranny of court, but this feels different to the crisis with Katherine of Aragon. Henry feels different. Cromwell is up to his neck now in terms of responsibility for making things happen for the king, but even after everything has been achieved in terms of doing away with Anne Boleyn there is a sense that nothing is over; it is all just beginning. A line has been crossed (although most of Europe seem to think this is child's play compared to Katherine being ousted), and the game feels acutely more dangerous now." .

Condition: (see pics.) Dust jacket and book are both in like new condition. First edition - 4th printing. Synopsis:By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. But Henry's actions have forced England into dangerous isolation, and Anne has failed to do what she promised: bear a son to secure the Tudor line. When Henry visits Wolf Hall, Cromwell watches as he falls in love with the silent, plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the king's pleasure, but the safety of the nation. As he eases a way through the sexual politics of the court, its miasma of gossip, he must negotiate a 'truth' that will satisfy Henry and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge undamaged from the bloody theater of Anne's final days. In Bring Up the Bodies, sequel to the Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn. This new novel is a speaking picture, and audacious vision of Tudor England that sheds its light on the modern world. It is the work of one of our great writers at the height of her powers. --jacket flap
