Publisher's Summary
Listen to the exciting new rendition of Bring Up the Bodies, 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. With a historic win for Bring Up the Bodies, the second book in the gripping Thomas Cromwell Trilogy, Hilary Mantel becomes the first British author to be awarded two Man Booker Prizes.
Winner of the Man Booker Prize.
Winner of the Costa Book of the Year.
By 1535 Thomas Cromwell is chief minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes having risen with those of Anne Boleyn, the king’s new wife. But Anne has failed to give the king an heir, and Cromwell watches as Henry falls for plain Jane Seymour.
Cromwell must find a solution that will satisfy Henry, safeguard the nation and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge unscathed from the bloody theatre of Anne’s final days.
An astounding literary accomplishment, Bring Up the Bodies is the story of this most terrifying moment of history, by one of our greatest living novelists.

Another brilliant instalment!
Bring Up the Bodies was another brilliant instalment in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy. Can't wait to hear Ben Hall narrating the final The Mirror and the Light!

Another excellent chapter in Cromwell's life
This book was not as lengthy as the initial volume, "Wolf Hall," but it is equally satisfying, with the same very high standard of historical research underpinning the story. Ben Miles narrates with measured, skillful artistry: I was struck by his ability to alter his voice quality and accent to portray the many different characters. Cromwell's voice was particularly effective - I felt at times I KNEW the man.
I was startled and regretful when the book ended, but look forward to the third volume. I highly recommend this Audiobook and the series.

great, but for the mouth sounds from narrator
loved it. Great part 2 of a superb story.
the narrator is plesant if one manages to ignore the mouth sounds. those were sometimes cringy.
overall worth it.

Rich in intrigue, detail, history alive a roaring
Great book with a driving story and such rich historical detail. It's amazing to think this is part of the series of events that brought us the Bible in English
