Mantel is now planning a Tudor trilogy: a new novel, Bring up the Bodies to be published by 4th Estate in May 2012, will focus on the downfall of Anne Boleyn. A third book will keep the title the author had already announced for the sequel, The Mirror & the Light, and will continue Cromwell's story until his execution in 1540.I don't think I've wanted a book this badly since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And even then... I'm not certain it's on the same level. I mean, Wolf Hall was that amazing.
All right, the countdown to May 2012 begins. Who's with me?
yes!! I enjoyed Wolf Hall so much, can't wait for more. here is my review by the way: http://wordsandpeace.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/review-63-wolf-hall/
