The History Book Club discussion

Hello,

During the week of May 2 – May 8 we are reading Part V Chapter 2 Devil’s Spit Autumn and Winter 1533 pp 484-524.

This thread will discuss the following:

Week 11 – May 2 – May 8 -> Part Part V Chpt 2 pp 484-524

Remember, these weekly non spoiler threads are just that - non spoiler. There are many other threads where "spoiler information" can be placed including the glossary and any of the other supplemental threads.

We will open up a thread for each week's reading. Please make sure to post in the particular thread dedicated to those specific chapters and page numbers to avoid spoilers. We will also open up supplemental threads as we have done for other spotlighted reads.

We kicked off this book on February 21. We look forward to your participation. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other noted on line booksellers do have copies of the book and shipment can be expedited. The book can also be obtained easily at your local library, on iTunes for the ipad, etc. However, be careful, some audible formats are abridged and not unabridged.

There is still time remaining to obtain the book and get started. There is no rush and we are thrilled to have you join us. It is never too late to get started and/or to post.

Welcome,

Garret

Hilary Mantel

Henry receives the blow of having another daughter. Anne has been crowned queen. The nuns prophecies do not come true. They discuss burning her for treason. She is taken prisoner and confesses she is a liar. Cromwell is no longer Anne's confidant. Lady Rochford proposes to be Cromwells spy in return for favors. The king is already losing interest in Anne. The pope suspends his decision to excommunicate Henry. The screws are tightened on the nuns supporters. Cromwell tries to convince More to lighten his stance and show some support to the King. Anne is pregnant again.

Thanks Garret.
