Tracing the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbed to the heights of power, The Mirror & the Light offers a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision, and of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion, and courage . . .
With The Mirror & the Light Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close her phenomenally exciting 'Thomas Cromwell' trilogy that began with Wolf Hall, and Bring Up the Bodies.
"Ambitious, compassionate, clear-eyed yet emotional, passionate and pragmatic, The Mirror & the Light lays down a marker for historical fiction that will set the standard for generations to come." -- Independent (UK)
