The sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner
and New York Times bestseller, Wolf Hall
delves into the heart of Tudor history with the downfall of
Anne Boleyn Though he battled for seven years to marry
her, Henry is disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed
to give him a son and her sharp intelligence and audacious
will alienate his old friends and the noble families of
England. When the discarded Katherine dies in exile from the
court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and
malice. At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready
to bring her down. Over three terrifying weeks, Anne is
ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane
Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding
ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield
without a ferocious struggle. Hilary Mantel's Bring Up
the Bodies follows the dramatic trial of the queen and
her suitors for adultery and treason. To defeat the Boleyns,
Cromwell must ally with his natural enemies, the papist
aristocracy. What price will he pay for Anne's head?
