Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

4.0

I am now officially a fan of Mantel's trilogy and am anxiously awaiting [b:The Mirror and the Light|9624993|The Mirror and the Light (Thomas Cromwell, #3)|Hilary Mantel|/assets/nocover/60x80.png|18853327] (which is possibly two years away??). No point in reiterating the whole sordid affair here and likely anyone who is even interested in reading the series already knows the story. I could easily read other re-tellings of Henry and his exploits, but it is Mantel's writing that keep me enthralled in her versions:

“The word however is like an imp coiled beneath your chair. It induces ink to form you have not yet seen and lines to march across the page and overshoot the margin. There are no endings. If you think so, you are deceived as to their nature. They are all beginnings. Here is one.”
