Just found out that there will be two sequels to Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall. Bring Up The Bodies will be published next year and focus on Anne’s downfall. And The Mirror And The Light will follow on from that.
Can’t wait! I loved Wolf Hall and a novel set around Anne’s downfall should be absolutely fantastic 
*I’d put in link to the Guardian neswspaper's book page where I read that but my laptop is playing up and won’t let me do that for some reason. Sorry!*

I read about this today; I, too, am excited. Wolf Hall was an amazing book, and I've been hoping for a sequel. I was sad when the book ended. I wanted it to go on. I just wish I didn't have to wait until mid-2012 for Bring up the Bodies release.
I am looking forward to Mantel's take on Anne's downfall, and how she frames Cromwell's role in it. Mantel did an amazing job of bringing Cromwell to life, and I actually empathised with him. Mantel found his humanity, which is often neglected in most popular culture references to him. I want to know more!

I can't wait for this book. My whole opinion of Cromwell changed after reading “Wulfhall.” I was sorry to see it end. I cannot wait to see what Mantel has to say about the last days of Anne's time as queen and Cromwell's part in it. As Duchess says, Mantel brings forth Cromwell's humanity. When I first started out, I didn't believe he was capable of humanity. I liked the guy. I'm so glad I read “Wulfhall,” and I am impatient for the release of “Bring Up The Bodies.”
