SpecificationsAbout the Author Hilary Mantel is one of our most important living writers. She is the author of twelve books including A Place of Greater Safety Giving Up the Ghost Beyond Black which was shortlisted for the 2006 Orange Prize and Wolf Hall which won the 2009 Man Booker Prize.Author 1 Hilary MantelBook Description The Man Booker-winning sequel to the Man Booker-winning Wolf Hall. My boy Thomas give him a dirty look and hell gouge your eye out. Trip him and hell cut off your leg says Walter Cromwell in the year 1500. But if you dont cut across him hes a very gentleman. And hell stand anyone a drink. By 1535 Thomas Cromwell the blacksmiths son is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn Henrys second wife for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. But Henrys 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 Henry falls in love with the silent plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the kings 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 theatre of Annes 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 Man Booker-longlisted novel is a speaking picture an 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.Format PaperbackEditorial Review This is a bloody story about the death of Anne Boleyn but Hilary Mantel is a writer who thinks through the blood. She uses her power of prose to create moral ambiguity and the real uncertainty of political life ... She has recast the most essential period of our modern English history; we have the greatest modern English prose writer reviving possibly one of the best known pieces of English history Sir Peter Stothard Chair of the judges for the Man Booker Prize 2012 Simply exceptional ...

A staggering achievement Sarah Crompton Sunday Telegraph Succeeds brilliantly in every particle ... its an imaginative achievement to exhaust superlatives Spectator Wolf Hall was a tour de force but its sequel is leaner more brilliant more shocking than its predecessor Erica Wagner The Times Picks up the body parts where Wolf Hall left off ... literary invention does not fail her: shes as deft and verbally adroit as ever Margaret Atwood Guardian Mantel in the voice of Cromwell is inspired. When she is in full flow as a novelist creating scenes and inventing dialogue she is more convincing than rendering a recorded scene from history Philippa Gregory Sunday Express Dont think you can start this book whenever you feel like it - plan ahead as once started its impossible to escape its grip and until its finished you wont get any sleep Country LifeISBN-10 0007315104ISBN-13 9780007315109Language EnglishView Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Hilary Mantel is one of our most important living writers.
