Gosh what a slow burn but it’s fun. Mostly. The writing is a hit or miss spanning the full spectrum of the hit-miss rainbow. When it hits it really fucking hits, i think “wow what beautiful prose,” but when it misses it also really fucking misses, i want to whack Hilary on the head with a hardcover edition of her own book. Savoring this slow like i did Lonesome Dove and Cuckold.

I’m in for a long, long ride. I was looking for something similar to Kiran Nagarkar’s Cuckold and this came highly recommended. Cuckold, by the way, has the finest writing I’ve ever read, in terms of the language itself but more because it was incredibly moving at times for me, and cathartic at one point. The writing in Wolf Hall has mostly been a hit with a few misses. Overall I’m enjoying it.
