Recenzje

Praise for the Wolf Hall trilogy

'The most masterful story telling imaginable' Graham Norton

'Very few writers manage not just to excavate the sedimented remains of the past, but bring them up again into the light and air so that they shine brightly once more before us. Hilary Mantel has done just that' Simon Schama, Financial Times

'Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall novels make 99 per cent of contemporary literary fiction feel utterly pale and bloodless by comparison' The Times

'So original and disconcerting that it will surely come to be seen as a paradigm-shifter' Sunday Telegraph

'Hers are books that refuse to shy away from the underside of life ... Hilary Mantel is one of our bravest as well as our most brilliant writers' Olivia Laing, Observer

'It is the making of our English world, and who can fail to be stirred by it?' Helen Dunmore, author of Birdcage Walk

'Succeeds brilliantly in every particle ... it's an imaginative achievement to exhaust superlatives' Spectator

'Mantel in the voice of Cromwell is inspired. When she is in full flow as a novelist, creating scenes and inventing dialogue, she is more convincing than rendering a recorded scene from history' Philippa Gregory, Sunday Express

'Mantel has redefined what the historical novel is capable of . . . Taken together, her Cromwell novels are, for my money, the greatest English novels of this century' Observer, Stephanie Merritt
