Book Description
================
Winner of the prestigious Man Booker prize for fiction. In the ruthless 
arena of King Henry VIII's court, only one man dares to gamble his life 
to win the king's favor and ascend to the heights of political power 
England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies 
without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry 
VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years, and marry Anne Boleyn. 
The pope and most of Europe opposes him. The quest for the king's freedom 
destroys his adviser, the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey, and leaves a power 
vacuum. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell is a wholly 
original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, 
astute in reading people and a demon of energy: he is also a consummate 
politician, hardened by his personal losses, implacable in his ambition. 
But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps 
him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph? 
In inimitable style, Hilary Mantel presents a picture of a half-made 
society on the cusp of change, where individuals fight or embrace their 
fate with passion and courage.

With a vast array of characters, overflowing with incident, the novel 
re-creates an era when the personal and political are separated by a 
hairbreadth, where success brings unlimited power but a single failure 
means death.
