I have 13 hours left of this 38 hours long audible version of this book. I have listened to Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies over the last 3 months. Mantel is such a descriptive writer that you can almost smell the flesh burning of those burned at the stake and hear them screaming. The brutality of punishment and the crudeness of men towards women during this time period is almost too much to bear.
