This is the second book in Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy focusing on the fall of Anne Boleyn through Thomas Cromwell's point of view.
Ten years ago, I read Wolf Hall. My reaction to Bring Up the Bodies is similar. The choice of Cromwell as a narrator is brilliant. Even though Mantel is a prizewinning, acclaimed author, I just don't like her style. I find it stilted and awkward. To each his or her own.
