ARC Giveaway: Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

Yesterday I received an unexpected ARC of Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel on my doorstep, however, being the impatient person that I am I had already purchased the hardcover on release day, so I am passing on the awesomeness to one of my loverly followers!!

I am about halfway through and loving it even more than I did Wolf Hall, which I didn't think possible!  


Publication Date:  May 8, 2012 | Henry Holt and Co. |432p

{SYNOPSIS}

The sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner and New York Times bestseller, Wolf Hall delves into the heart of Tudor history with the downfall of Anne Boleyn...

Though he battled for seven years to marry her, Henry is disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son and her sharp intelligence and audacious will alienate his old friends and the noble families of England. When the discarded Katherine dies in exile from the court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and malice.

At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over three terrifying weeks, Anne is ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle. Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies follows the dramatic trial of the queen and her suitors for adultery and treason. To defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must ally with his natural enemies, the papist aristocracy. What price will he pay for Anne's head?

  43. Hi, Amy: "Bringing up the Bodies" sounds like a wonderful novel that would have the reader sitting on the edge of their seat. Can you imagine the fear with which people at court lived during that time? Knowing that some people had the power to end your life on a whim must have been extremely frightening.

    I am delighted that more and more novels of this time period are being written. It finally brings history to life in a truly interesting way rather than the dry fact and date memorization of past schooldays. I so admire all of these wonderful authors as just the research required to write these novels is enormous, not to mention the storyline to interweave with it.
