This is the sure fire winner for The Man Booker Prize: The British bookies have it as the 2 to 1 favourite to win in October.
From one of Britain’s finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

“Magestically conjures up an England in the throes of epic change… a Great British Novel.” Observer
