Re-read in anticipation of the third volume in March 2020.
She's setting him up for the coming events.
What a great character. To mix pop culture, he was the Tudor Mike Ehrmantraut.

Fantastic! Loved Mantel’s writing. This one reads like a tense plot compared to the Wolf Hall. Now on to the next one in series.

A very slow read, and definitely no surprises if you know the period, but Simon Vance is an exceptional reader.

In this one things kick off and get a little more interesting. Though I doubt I'll ever get around to reading the 3rd book.

I enjoyed the overall story, but the author's writing style made it very difficult to follow.
