2009 Man Booker Award

Wolf HallEngland, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne but without a suitable heir and is at war with the Church. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events.

With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, Wolf Hall peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.
