Historical fiction at its best, told from first person perspective of the protagonist.

This is the second in Hillary Mantel’s Thomas Cromwell trilogy. The sequel is narrower in scope, focusing on the fall of the Boleyn’s. Excellent in its own right, this book also won the Booker Prize (2012); the first book won in 2009.

If the first book was "Brexit", the second is "Game of Thrones" as the narrative shifts to a behind the scenes look at the inner workings of power, spanning illicit liaisons, palace intrigue, and truth and lies.
