Впервые на русском — «триумфальный финал завораживающей саги» (NPR), долгожданное завершение прославленной трилогии о Томасе Кромвеле, правой руке короля Генриха VIII, начатой романами «Вулфхолл» («лучший Букеровский лауреат за много лет», Scotsman) и «Введите обвиняемых», также получившим Букера, — случай, беспрецедентный за всю историю премии. Мантел «воссоздала самый важный период новой английской истории: величайший английский прозаик современности оживляет известнейшие эпизоды из прошлого Англии», говорил председатель Букеровского жюри сэр Питер Стотард. Итак, после казни Анны Болейн и женитьбы короля на Джейн Сеймур позиции Кромвеля сильны как никогда. Он подавляет Благодатное паломничество — восстание католиков, спровоцированное закрытием монастырей, — и один из руководителей восстания, лорд Дарси, перед казнью пророчески предупреждает Кромвеля, что королевская милость не вечна. Казалось бы, хорошо известно, чем кончится эта история, — однако роман Мантел читается увлекательнее любого детектива… В 2015 году телеканал Би-би-си экранизировал «Вулфхолл» и «Введите обвиняемых», главные роли исполнили Марк Райлэнс («Еще одна из рода Болейн», «Шпионский мост», «Дюнкерк»), Дэмиэн Льюис («Ромео и Джульетта», «Однажды в… Голливуде»), Клер Фой («Опочтарение», «Корона», «Человек на Луне»). Сериал, известный по-русски как «Волчий зал», был номинирован на премию «Золотой глобус» в трех категориях (выиграл в одной), на BAFTA — в восьми (выиграл в трех) и на «Эмми» — тоже в восьми.
