My problems with it were more down to personal taste than any failings of quality.<br /><br />It can only be a good thing to see an intelligent and meticulously researched novel winning the Booker Prize. I just hope I like her next one a bit more!Tim Strettonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598897603628943741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21671128.post-11330926882220868212010-03-25T15:29:15.953+00:002010-03-25T15:29:15.953+00:00I'm just coming to the end of Wolf Hall and ha...I'm just coming to the end of Wolf Hall and have to say that I'm hugely impressed.

I don't normally read anything the literasi praise to high heaven, historical fiction, fantasy, SF, horror, crime are my ghetto!<br /><br />Hope you get to publish more Mondia Tim...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821436346128023423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21671128.post-9124521947824667322010-03-24T14:21:33.663+00:002010-03-24T14:21:33.663+00:00Great cover, Tim!
