Book of the Year 'It is a book not read, but lived' Telegraph 'Her
Cromwell novels are, for my money, the greatest English novels of
this century' Observer 'If you cannot speak truth at a beheading,
when can you speak it?' England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead,
decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French
executioner.As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas
Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith's son from
Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to
power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles
to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.
Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on, he has no great
family to back him, no private army.Despite rebellion at home,
traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry's
regime to breaking point, Cromwell's robust imagination sees a new
country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person,
shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury
themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell,
when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone
close to him? With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings
to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and
Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell,
the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a
defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest
between present and past, between royal will and a common man's
vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion
and courage.
