Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's ascension to the throne, this new title by the critically adored Mantel is the story of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief advisor. Mantel delicately probes the psychology of this political genius, charmer and bully in a novel that will surely usurp Orange Prize nominated "Beyond Black" in sales, critical attention and popularity. Lead feature and review coverage guaranteed.
Publisher's description:
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.'
