Wow, really well done. It took a lot of close reading, and I have to say I was very glad for the Kindle's search function with this one. But the rewards for that were huge. Her writing is so spare, very physical, and she makes the small details matter so much -- aside from being a really solid historical novel, it was a terrific, nuanced portrait of a man. The Booker people got it right this time. Mantel did a hell of a job.

I've not been this excited about beginning a book in ages. I've had it around the house for about a week, just enjoying the prospect of starting it.

Just, just started. Need to finish another book before I am too committed to this one but am planning to read it through compulsively as soon as I can.

This was very very fine. Mantel is so good at the atmospheric detail. It manages to feel both historically true and very modern at the same time.
