By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. In Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn.

I downloaded both wolf hall and bring up the bodies and listened back to back. I agree with the review that said it felt like you were eavesdropping on conversations. It really brought that whole period to life. I may be in the minority but I preferred Simon Vance's voice for Cromwell and his general narration voices to that the narrator of Wolf Hall.
