I am letting this digest for a while before I consider the question of whether this trilogy, and specifically TMATL, is the greatest thing I have ever read. I don't really tend to do this but there are a few books up there that I have been unable to prefer one to the other but which stand head and shoulders above many other fine books I have read. I particularly found her innovations of style an exciting revelation - baffling/irritating me at first in Wolf Hall but inevitably drawing me into Cromwell's mind and experience, I would have to say more successfully than when I dutifully waded through Joyce.(less)
