Hilary Mantel is one of our most important living writers. She is the author of eleven books, including A Place of Greater Safety, Giving Up the Ghost, and, most recently, Beyond Black, which was shortlisted for the 2006 Orange Prize.
Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2009 '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, suffering and courage.

漸入佳境,越來越喜歡她的敘事風格,沒有一個單詞是廢話
评分聽的audible,從頭到尾聽瞭三遍不齣二十分鍾立馬睡著,連早醒型失眠都能治
评分Thomas Cromwell is remaking himself, and a sovereign. He suffices the King's needs while destroying a disgusting church, plus the despicable, people-burning Thomas More. The plot is delicately simple, yet scenes are magically present. The author could have done readers a greater service by replacing 80% of the "he" with just simply "Cromwell".
评分N's present.
评分英國人寫起人情世故也是細緻入微,幾處閑筆就能改變整個人的形象。文字有張力,故事也極精彩。
