Summary
Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2012.
Winner of the 2012 Costa Book of the Year.
Shortlisted for the 2013 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
With this historic win for Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel becomes the first British author and the first woman to be awarded two Man Booker Prizes.
By 1535 Thomas Cromwell is Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes having risen with those of Anne Boleyn, the king’s new wife. But Anne has failed to give the king an heir, and Cromwell watches as Henry falls for plain Jane Seymour. Cromwell must find a solution that will satisfy Henry, safeguard the nation and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge unscathed from the bloody theatre of Anne’s final days.
An astounding literary accomplishment, Bring Up the Bodies is the story of this most terrifying moment of history, by one of our greatest living novelists.

Glorious sequel
The violence, passion, ambition and most particularly the fear rampant in the courtly world of medieval England are given human form in this worthy, blood red sequel to Wolf Hall. Cromwell is still adamantine but without some of, though not all of the more forgiving and sympathetic traits displayed in Wolf Hall. Simon Vance does a terrific job on the narration though he has a particularly high bar to clear following Simon Slater’s masterpiece of Wolf Hall. A terrific audiobook, worth 5 stars of anyone’s review.

Utterly brilliant
Incomparably brilliant piece of work. Julian Rhind-Tutt is addictively mesmerising, his moving back and forth between characters utterly faultless. I want to marry him.

Just isn't grabbing me
I only bought this title 2 days ago but already I'm struggling; the prose is rather meandering making it hard to follow, but mainly I'm finding the readers voice irritating; soft spoken and languid his voice would be great on a relaxation or meditation tape, but here it just sounds a monotonous drone. Very hard to follow the story; I'll persevere but I'm not holding out much hope...
