Description
Thomas Cromwell is Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes having risen with those of Anne Boleyn, the king's new wife. But Anne has failed to give the king an heir, and Cromwell watches as Henry falls for plain Jane Seymour. As the situation becomes increasingly precarious, Cromwell must find a solution that will satisfy Henry, safeguard the nation, and secure his own career. The bloody theatre of Anne's final days is a terrifying moment in history, and Hilary Mantel brings it to life with her masterful storytelling. This is a gripping story of power, politics, and the human cost of ambition. With its astounding literary accomplishment, Bring Up the Bodies is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
