A blacksmith's son claws his way up to become Henry VIII's most useful, most feared minister, and dismantles England's marriage to Rome to get the king his divorce, sending the friend who will not bend to it to the block.

"So now get up." Felled, dazed, silent, he has fallen; knocked full length on the cobbles of the yard.
Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel
