具體描述
Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2009 'Lock Cromwell in a deep dungeon in the morning,' says Thomas More, 'and when you come back that night he'll be sitting on a plush cushion eating larks' tongues, and all the gaolers will owe him money.' 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, suffering and courage.

讀後感
本文发表于燕赵都市报，未经允许，请勿转载。 说起历史小说，我的印象还停留在《你往何处去》的年代。显翁大气磅礴、苍劲十足的笔法在脑海中留的烙印过于深重了，以至于当我捧起这本勇夺布克奖的《狼厅》时还颇有些不适应。尤瑟纳尔之后，很少读女性作家写的历史小说，乔治...
評分文/来颖燕，来源《深圳晚报》 读历史小说的时候，我常常会提醒自己，这是小说而非真实的历史。历史已然灰飞烟灭，它在小说家笔下的还原，终究是不可避免主观性的。但意识到这点，不代表排斥历史小说，反而可以直面历史小说中的主观性元素，并且在反思中渐渐靠近那段历史。 文...

评分聽的audible，從頭到尾聽瞭三遍不齣二十分鍾立馬睡著，連早醒型失眠都能治
评分都不記得自己是什麼時候買的這本書，看瞭1/3，搬來搬去時找不到它，又抓起有聲書聽。有時早上化妝時聽Cromwell傢的女孩子們討論Lady Anne的著裝和宮裏流行的時尚，聽Cromwell對Mary Boleyn剋製而暗藏深意的描寫，曆史好像映照現實，女為悅己者容，由此感到深深無奈，似乎是無法擺脫的睏境。這段曆史，配閤Plantagenet，看過不少影視改編和不同作者的曆史描述，Hilary Mantel的語言有時讓我想起Tolstoy，雖是寫實卻讓人覺得充滿理想主義情懷。明明點到即止，卻很容易就能visualize整個場景。再戲劇化的情節，幾個精準的短句迅速帶過，旖旎從風，又暗潮湧動。
