Description

Winner of the 2012 Man Booker Prize, Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies is the sequel to Wolf Hall. It continues the story of Thomas Cromwell as Henry VIII seeks a male heir, and Anne Boleyn's position at court unravels. Henry's dislike for Anne grows after she fails to bear him a son, while her intelligence and ambition threaten his alliances. With Katherine dead in exile, Anne becomes the focus of gossip and plot. At Henry's command, Cromwell moves to bring her down. Over three weeks, Anne is drawn into a web of conspiracy as Jane Seymour awaits her turn. Anne and her family resist, and Cromwell must navigate powerful enemies to secure the king's will. What price will be paid for Anne's head?
