This made me fully insane.
It’s a novel about Thomas Cromwell, about England’s split with the Catholic Church and why and how, it’s also written like someone’s liveblog. It’s the most impeccably researched book I’ve read in ages but it never forces the characters to speak #authentically.
I want to study Mantel like a bug, what the fuck.
