By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmithâs son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henryâs second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. But Henryâs actions have forced England into dangerous isolation, and Anne has failed to do what she promised: bear a son to secure the Tudor line. When Henry visits Wolf Hall, Cromwell watches as Henry falls in love with the silent, plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the kingâs pleasure, but the safety of the nation. As he eases a way through the sexual politics of the court, and its miasma of gossip, he must negotiate a âtruthâ that will satisfy Henry and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge undamaged from the bloody theatre of Anneâs final days.
In Bring Up the Bodies, sequel to the Man Booker Prizeâ winning Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn.
