‘Every bit as good as they said it was’ Observer

‘Terrific’ Margaret Atwood

‘As soon as I opened this book I was gripped. I read it almost non-stop’ The Times

In Wolf Hall, one of our very best writers brings the opulent, brutal world of the Tudors to bloody, glittering life. It is the backdrop to the rise and rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue, and, finally, most powerful of Henry VIII’s courtiers.

‘Dizzyingly, dazzlingly good’ Daily Mail

‘Terrifying. It is a world of marvels. But it is also a world of horrors, where screams are commonplace. A feast’ Daily Telegraph
