Wolf Hall

Oh Hilary, you are amazing! This book took hold of me from the first page with young Cromwell being smacked down by his dad to the last chapter's stormy England with its ray of hope. The writing was so elegant, the characters so human, you brought 16th century England to life for me. I shall follow you blindly through any future writings. While I have not finished the Man Booker shortlist, you absolutely win so far...
