Status Updates From Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell,...

Thomas Cromwell is such an interesting and likable fellow!
For me, this is now how he actually was, and what he actually said and did in real life, back in the 1530s. You can't telle me otherwise! ;)

I will finish this book by the end of year, I can feel it

I have been excited about reading this since COVID!

"More would have been a priest, but human flesh
called to him with its inconvenient demands. He did not want to be a
bad priest, so he became a husband. "

"If another man were saying this, he'd be trying to start a fight. When
Thomas More says it, it leads to an invitation to dinner"

acham que vou conseguir acabar de ler antes do meu bookclub ou tenho de fazer diretas? I caaaant anymore com tanto nome 🥲🥲

"The English will never be forgiven
for the talent for destruction they have always displayed when they get
off their own island. English armies laid waste to the land they moved
through. As if systematically, they performed every action proscribed
by the codes of chivalry, and broke every one of the laws of war. The
battles were nothing; it was what they did between the battles that left
its mark. "
