Editor’s note English novelist who died in 2022, twice winner of the Booker Prize, for Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, the first two books of her trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith’s son who rose to run Henry VIII’s England. Told in a close present tense that takes a few pages to get used to, Wolf Hall is the most read; Bring Up the Bodies, shorter and fiercer, about the fall of Anne Boleyn, rates highest. The Mirror & the Light completes the trilogy. Read in order.
