Book Description

Now a major TV series The Sunday Times bestseller Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction Longlisted for the Booker Prize

‘It is a book not read, but lived’ Telegraph

‘Mantel has taken us to the dark heart of history … and what a show’ The Times

‘If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?’

The Mirror & the Light begins after the death of Anne Boleyn. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son has knocked down everyone in his path: established at the right hand of Henry VIII, he is the second man in England. But what will you do, an astute witness asks, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?

Heralded as the greatest English novels of this century, the Wolf Hall trilogy has won two Booker Prizes and been adapted into hugely successful stage plays. The first two books, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, were transformed into a BAFTA- and Golden Globe-winning BBC television series, starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis. The cast now returns in the long-awaited concluding series, Wolf Hall: The Mirror & the Light.
