About this Item

SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. THREE FIRST U.S. EDITION, FIRST PRINTINGS, covered in protective mylar. HISTORICAL FICTION STORY: With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with her peerless, Booker Prize-winning novels, WOLF HALL AND Bring UP THE BODIES. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man s vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage. The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. Cromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry s regime to the breaking point, Cromwell s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. All of England lies at his feet, ripe for innovation and religious reform. But as fortune s wheel turns, Cromwell s enemies are gathering in the shadows. The inevitable question remains: how long can anyone survive under Henry s cruel and capricious gaze? SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF SUCCESS ON ABEBOOKS.
