Week 9 – April 18 – April 24 -> Part IV Chpt 3 Part V Chpt 1 pp 483 FINISH AUDIBLE PART II. Audible ends with, “But then, life is never perfect for the servant of a prince…”


Remember, these weekly non spoiler threads are just that - non spoiler. There are many other threads where "spoiler information" can be placed including the glossary and any of the other supplemental threads.

We will open up a thread for each week's reading. Please make sure to post in the particular thread dedicated to those specific chapters and page numbers to avoid spoilers. We will also open up supplemental threads as we have done for other spotlighted reads.

We kicked off this book on February 21. We look forward to your participation. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other noted on line booksellers do have copies of the book and shipment can be expedited. The book can also be obtained easily at your local library, on iTunes for the ipad, etc. However, be careful, some audible formats are abridged and not unabridged.

There is still time remaining to obtain the book and get started. There is no rush and we are thrilled to have you join us. It is never too late to get started and/or to post.

Welcome,

Garret

Hilary Mantel

[Garret]

Cromwell ruminates about his role in court and life. Anne and Henry get married. Cranmer is given a new office. He now has legal right to decide the king's marital status. Anne is carrying a child. Anne tells Cromwell she wants Mary out of the way. Cromwell visits Frith at the tower of London awaiting his burning. Cromwell arranges some marriages for the king.

You have to wonder how heartless and conniving this woman is - even wanting her sister out of the way. Cromwell could not tell which Mary she was talking about at first. Mary - the King's daughter or Mary - Anne's sister.

[Garret]

Right, then it turns out she would like both out of the way!

Wow was all I had to say when listening to this...you live by the sword; you die by the sword.
