Wolf Hall reviewed in The Sunday Times Christmas Audiobooks Selection
1:30pm 15/12/2009
Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, this year's Man Booker winner, is a big book in both length and ambition, and Simon Slater takes 24 and a half hours to read it. Mantel's powerfully imagined Tudor world is a breathtaking feat. She may confound the story with too many minor characters, but her hero, Thomas Cromwell (she's obviously more than a bit in love with him), is compelling, as is his rise to power under Henry VIII.
Wolf Hall is available now.
