About This Book

Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel is a landmark work of historical fiction, first published in 2012. Mantel's sequel follows Cromwell as he engineers the fall and execution of Anne Boleyn for the increasingly volatile Henry VIII. The second Booker Prize winner in Mantel's trilogy is even more precise and propulsive than the first, a masterclass in point-of-view and political tension. Themes of Tudor England, power, betrayal run through the work. The book has received recognition from Booker Prize 2012.
