Bring Up the Bodies

Mantel's deep psychological insight makes Cromwell feel so alive. I'm curious whether she based his internal monologue on historical records or creative interpretation.

The detailed political negotiations are fascinating but also dense. I wonder if Mantel wanted to emphasize the weight of each decision or build tension differently.

Seeing the events through his eyes offers a fresh take on history, but I wonder if Mantel considered other viewpoints or if Cromwell's voice was always the plan.
