Wolf Hall Book

Wolf Hall is Hilary Mantel's stunning new novel set in Tudor England which takes us on a journey behind scenes of the reign of Henry VIII, one of the most turbulent periods of British History. The story of Wolf Hall is told mainly through the eyes of the arch-fixer, but solid, Thomas Cromwell, who gambled his life to win the king's favour and eventually rose up from being a blacksmiths son, to being the most powerful man in England after the king. Cromwell is an opportunist, ambitious and also a skilled politician who helps Henry to break the opposition. But what will be the price of his triumph be in a society where success can bring unlimited power but a single failure means death? Read More

    Winner of the Galaxy Book Awards UK Author of the Year 2010 ; ; 'Lock Cromwell in a deep dungeon in the morning ' says Thomas More 'and when you come back that night he'll be sitting on a plush cushion eating larks' tongues and all the gaolers will owe him money.' England the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell first as Wolsey's clerk and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith a political genius a briber a charmer a bully a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages. From one of our finest living writers Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters and richly overflowing with incident it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage. ; ; ; Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2009
