In Episode 3, Jami tells you about The Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel, a Booker Prize-winning series of engrossing historical fiction.
The Wolf Hall series follows Thomas Cromwell, an advisor to King Henry VIII, and the political intrigue that happened in his court. Through her exhaustive research and compelling storytelling, the author brings characters like Anne Boleyn, Katherine of Aragon, and Thomas More to life. For further background, here's Hilary Mantel giving a one-hour lecture on her research process!
