Anne Boleyn's final years - hand-in-hand with Thomas Cromwell, we follow the route he devised to engineer her fall from grace. Everything is through his eyes, we see only what he saw or wanted to see, so there is no visible torture, no rack although their shadow is everywhere. A must for lover's of Wolf Hall (bwl 55); I thought it even better, especially as Mantell seems to have dropped her irritating habit of not making clear who is actually speaking.
