Now that the nights are drawing in I love nothing better than to curl up with a good book. I am currently reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and it is absolutely brilliant. In essence it is about the life of Sir Thomas Cromwell and his involvement in securing Henry VIII's divorce from Katherine of Aragon. I am a big fan of historical fiction but this is in a league of it's own, furthermore it paints a far more sympathetic picture of Cromwell who actually rose from very humble origins and who was a very intelligent and enlightened man. Excellent, would highly reccommend.
