Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel in Paperback

The second book in Hilary Mantel's critically acclaimed Wolf Hall trilogy, now featuring a striking new cover to mark the release of the highly awaited The Mirror and the Light. An extraordinary literary triumph, Bring Up the Bodies chronicles one of the most harrowing periods in history, masterfully crafted by one of the foremost modern novelists. Described by many as 'Our greatest living English writer', Mantel uncovers the treacherous world of King Henry VIII's court, where Thomas Cromwell reigns as top advisor. With Henry smitten by plain Jane Seymour and whispers of Anne Boleyn's infidelity circulating, Cromwell must take drastic measures to secure his power. But the violent drama surrounding the queen's final days will leave no one unscathed. Regarded as 'A magnificent novel of forbidden passions, both public and private', Bring Up the Bodies is truly unparalleled in historical fiction. As praised by the Financial Times, "It is in a league of its own."
