Man Booker Prize for Fiction!
Bring Up the Bodies picks up where 2009's Wolf Hall left off, as Hilary Mantels gift for historical fiction continues to make the saga of serial monogamist Henry VIII feel as urgent as the evening news. Mantel captures the personal and political maneuvering of the king and his cohort Henry Cromwell with a taste for wit and an eye for detail.
