Bring Up The Bodies is the sequel to Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel's acclaimed Booker winner about Henry VIII's advisor, Thomas Cromwell. In January I read "Wolf Hall" in anticipation of reading "Bring Up the Bodies" for my February book club meeting. The events of this novel circle around the fall of the Boleyn family and the rise of the Seymour family. In Bring Up the Bodies, sequel to the Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn. The story begins shortly after the execution of Thomas More. From the author that brought us the 2009 Man Booker Prize winning Wolf Hall comes the sequel to the Thomas Cromwell featured story, Bringing Up the Bodies. So I have loved the Tudors since 1994 when they were covered in my Year 3 History topic I won't bore regular readers by going over all of this again. Bring up the Bodies is the follow-up to Mantel's phenomenal Wolf Hall, winner of the 2009 Booker Prize. Wolf Hall & Bring Up The Bodies, Hilary Mantel. Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel (2012 – 161 years after Moby Dick), 410 pages (730 pages shorter than Moby Dick). First queen Katherine of Aragon languishes in exile. The plays, adapted by Mike Boulton from Hilary Mantel's prize-winning novels, will begin in repertory in December. That's the focus of author Mantel's new book, and second part of the trilogy, Bring up the Bodies. This novel deserves all of its near-unanimous praise. If you havent read it yet, what are you waiting for? Bring Up the Bodies is a wonderful continuation of Thomas Cromwell's story in the Tudor court.
