Congratulations to Hilary Mantel for winning The Man Booker Prize in Fiction with her novel about Thomas Cromwell’s rise to power, Wolf Hall.
I’ve read it — it’s absolutely wonderful. Here’s hoping she writes a sequel!
A Kings Ransom.
I have yet to read this book.I will deffinately be bying this book though.When I had heard Hillary Mantel won the booker prize on Tuesday I was astounded aswell as delighted.The book on Wolf Hall took her five years to write.Also it had stated that the betting shops may have to end up paying its customers a Kings ransom for their bets that they had made on this book winning first prize.It had made me laugh when I had heard this.Well It all depends on how many placed their bets on wolf Hall to win aswell as how much money was placed on this book to win.! 😀
I just finished reading this – it is SO good. Especially if you’re into Tudor history. It’s offers a really interesting perspective on Thomas Cromwell’s life – and his relationship with Henry VIII.
