This can make the novel slightly difficult for readers, but with a little focus The Mirror & the Light is an entertaining read. ![]() ![]() In staying true to the Tudor time period, Mantel includes language of the era. At the same time she adds a depth to these real-life figures that is bound to engage readers. Mantel seems to have somehow travelled to 1536, and writes with convincing historical accuracy. The story then follows Thomas Cromwell for the next four years, until his death. The Mirror & the Light takes place in England in May of 1536, just after the beheading of Anne Boleyn. While what happened to Cromwell is well documented, Mantel does an excellent job of recreating the scene while using her creative freedom to write an epic of historical fiction. Eleven years after the release of Wolf Hall, fans of Mantel’s beloved series can now read about the last four years of Cromwell’s life. The first two books in this Tudor trilogy, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, set the stage for the epic conclusion to this tale. Hilary Mantel’s trilogy depicting the life of Thomas Cromwell, minister to King Henry VIII, comes to an end with its much-anticipated final instalment, The Mirror & the Light. ![]() |
