Magnificent.” - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love “Nothing in the last few years has dazzled me more than Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. This is a novel too in which nothing is wasted, and nothing completely disappears.” - Stephen Greenblatt, The New York Review of Books “Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall is a startling achievement, a brilliant historical novel focused on the rise to power of a figure exceedingly unlikely, on the face of things, to arouse any sympathy at all.
