Listen to the exciting new rendition of Wolf Hall, read by Ben Miles who was personally cast by the author and played Thomas Cromwell in the Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation of Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies. The winner of the Man Booker Prize and captivating first book in the Thomas Cromwell trilogy. Winner of the Man Booker Prize. Shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award. England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages. From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage. "Dizzyingly, dazzlingly good." DAILY MAIL "Our most brilliant English writer." GUARDIAN Shortlisted for the Golden Man Booker Prize.

Det tog lite tid att komma in i boken med alla namn och referenser. Men sedan levde jag med boken ända till slutet.

Ett mästerverk från början till slut. Inläsaren är såå bra. Man blir uppslukad. Har nu lyssnat en 3e gång och den blir bara bättre. Som poesi. Tankar. Känslor. Historiska skeenden och mänsklig psykologi.

Otroligt välskriven bok som gör sig väldigt bra som ljudbok. Uppläsaren förflyttar mig in i Cromwells liv och gör att alla karaktärerna verkliga. Den är något av en nagelbitare trots att jag vet allas öden vilket helt beror på författarens förmåga att göra dem till människor av kött och blod.

Tyvärr inte lika bra som sitt rykte. Blir bättre när man kommer in i stilen och förstår vems perspektiv man har. Att ignorera läsarens behov att förstå vilken Thomas eller Anne (två av tidens vanliga namn) som åsyftas är inte stilistiskt snyggt utan en smula arrogant. Plus för bra uppläsare.
