A richly historical novel, Wolf Hall is set in the 1520s and tells the story of Thomas Cromwell's rise to prominence in the Tudor court. Apparently, the author spent five years writing the book and she is already working on a sequel. link |

How is this even remotely wargaming/ wargamming [TM] related? Or have you confused Thomas for Oliver? |

I am only 60 pages from the end and looking forward with great anticipation to reading Jack Sheldons 'The German Army on the Somme' instead. What load of turgid self indulgent… well, you get the idea. So, it is wargamming[TM] related as it makes you want to read a decent book afterwards. My wife says the one about the French Revolution is even worse. I can see what she is trying to achieve, but the first person narrative makes it very confusing when absolutely everyone is called Henry, Richard, or Thomas. Some bits are OK, but if you want a good magical realistic treatment of English culture and society, then Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke is much better. |
