Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel 2009
In Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel tells the story of Thomas Cromwell, a bold opportunist who works his way through the ranks to become the trusted aid of King Henry VIII. As England erupts over Henry's plans to annul his longstanding marriage and wed Anne Boleyn, Cromwell keeps his sights set on the interest closest to his heart: the survival of England. Though his wheelings and dealings, Cromwell quells the public firestorm over the king's proposed divorce and marriage, all the while laying out a plan for a peaceful and successful kingdom. But working closely with the unpredictable Henry VIII is not an easy position--as Cromwell soon learns. Books & authors
