Wolf Hall

I quite enjoyed Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, the winner of the 2009 Man Booker Prize, despite its length. It was, of course, very well written and told the story of Thomas Cromwell up to the time of his elevation as King Henry VIII's advisor. The reader learns about Cromwell's early very humble life and his family. As his influence grows he makes some powerful enemies. He is instrumental in helping Henry marry Anne Boleyn and breaking from Rome. This book is a huge undertaking, but if you are interested in that period you will find it worthwhile. 4/5
