Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel, summarizes the extraordinary rise of commoner Thomas Cromwell, a blacksmith's son, as he becomes King Henry VIII's indispensable, pragmatic, and often ruthless advisor, navigating the treacherous Tudor court and the political/religious upheaval as Henry seeks to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, leading to England's break with Rome. The novel covers Cromwell's early life of abuse and adventure, his service to the fallen Cardinal Wolsey, and his ascent to power, offering a nuanced, humanizing perspective on a figure often vilified in history
